Physician/Provider Search Associates, Inc. was established in 1979 as a consulting organization dedicated solely to the health-care industry and specializing in physician recruitment and staffing.  Our firm was founded on the belief that the demands of the healthcare industry are unique, and that meeting them requires a highly differentiated approach.  The combination of superior technical skill and responsive, proactive, personal service, the hallmarks of our philosophy, was universally appreciated by our clients and candidates.  Our role as the staffing and management organization responsible for the entire human resource component of several emergency departments quickly taught us the skills and value of working with clients as partners rather than customers.

 We are proud that over the last twenty years we have built lasting partnerships with our original clients and forged numerous additional relationships in a wide array of healthcare settings.  Over the years, our core competency in physician recruitment was deepened to include clinical leadership and management positions as well as a broad range of supporting clinical and administrative staff.  Individual and group practices, community health care facilities and networks, as well as the then nascent forms of managed care organizations soon became our client partners.

 As alternative healthcare delivery systems and new forms of reimbursement entities become the norm, new challenges face our clients.  Managers with skill sets largely unknown in healthcare a short time ago are sought almost universally.  Physician/Provider Search Associates, Inc., through its broad recruitment competency, has responded to client requests for managed care professionals, including physician executives.  Our healthcare executive search practice has earned a reputation for excellence with several of the region's foremost managed care organizations, multi-hospital systems, academic medical centers, community hospitals, community health centers, and ancillary service and product providers.  We have a special aptitude to work effectively with organizations transforming themselves to the new realities and opportunities in healthcare.

 Our success in assisting organizations through uncertain times has been rooted in our focus on developing recruitment and management strategies for both short-term and long-term growth.  We are proud of our hard-earned reputation as a healthcare search firm, which can identify the very best professionals to meet the ever-changing needs of the healthcare industry.

 On-going communication with a substantial range of potential candidates is essential.  Maintaining a strong connection to leading institutions, organizations and their leadership is vital in order to articulate the needs of these organizations as they seek to fill key medical, executive and corporate positions.  Finally, vision, creativity and flexibility are critical to identifying the best candidate for a particular organization.  Physician/Provider Search Associates, Inc. is prepared to meet these challenges precisely because our own corporate strategy is predicated on dynamic, future-oriented growth.

 Attracting and retaining exceptional talent is critical to the success of any healthcare organization and competition for professionals with demonstrated track records is intense. Medical Directions embraces an aggressive approach to executive search. Our commitment is to serve our clients through the identification and selection of superior executive performers; not merely to present choices of readily available prospects. We achieve our goals by using the sum of our experience, professionalism, strategic thinking and creativity.

 Over the years, we have forged alliances with those organizations providing superior levels of service. Today we are proud these strategic partnerships have created a fully integrated system capable of addressing the clinical and leadership manpower requirements of all segments of the healthcare industry.
