Case Study: Minnesota Hospital Association hires an ideal neurologist with Jackson Physician Search

Minnesota Hospital Association hires ideal neurologist with Jackson Physician Search amid 50% J-1 candidate pool

The Minnesota Hospital Association, a large health system, faced the significant challenge of recruiting a neurologist for its neuro-hospitalist program, a specialty known to be one of the hardest to fill. They engaged their preferred vendor, Jackson Physician Search, and Director of Recruiting Katie Moeller to manage the search, anticipating that many qualified candidates would require a J-1 visa waiver.

Jackson Physician Search implemented a solution where Katie Moeller evaluated all J-1 waiver candidates for clinical strength, communication skills, and genuine interest in the role and location. This diligent vetting process saved the client significant time and ultimately identified an ideal candidate who was enthusiastically hired. The successful placement by Jackson Physician Search allowed the hospital to grow its program by securing a long-term fit, despite the complexities of the visa waiver process.
