Success Story
Jodi Baumgartner image.
"Using the PracticeMatch software, my favorite feature is Pinpoint Search. As somebody who recruits rural physicians, I find myself going in there a lot and finding people who have ties to rural Minnesota or just Minnesota in general. It's an area that is not difficult to recruit to, but you're definitely looking for a specific person who knows what the community and lifestyle is like there. It definitely helps me to narrow down my search so that I'm not searching through thousands of candidates who have absolutely no interest in practicing rural medicine."
