Physician Recruitmentthrough

What is AlaskaPhysicanJobs.net?

How did the site start?

Why did ASHNHA acquire it?• Members said they received valuable leads from the site and did not want

to lose the service• Site receives over 5,000 visits per month, 200 inquires via forms since April

2012• Opportunity to expand partnerships statewide through ASHNHA’s already

established networks• Fits well with workforce committee objectives and our partnerships on

statewide workforce initiatives

• FMH started working collaboratively in their community with clinics and private practice physicians

• They found success stories around the country such as “The Maine Recruitment Center” which convinced them that offering a central site is convenient for inquiring physicians and that the collaborative approach makes sense strategically for building an online presence.

How does it work now?We are operating on a trial bases until the sustainability plan is complete. The process is simple:

1.ASHNHA members can send physician and mid-level job openings to ASHNHA by emailing jobs@alaskaphysicianjobs.net 2.Applicants complete an online form, email or call expressing interest3.ASHNHA forwards potential candidates to facilities based on their specialty and geographic preference. At this time, minimal screening is being done with applicants’ CVs.
