Recruitment and Retention (Physicians and Staff)

AAFP CareerLink -- AAFP CareerLink is an information exchange between physicians and other family medicine educators seeking a position, and "opportunities" -- including physicians, communities, hospitals, faculty programs, and others who are seeking candidates to join their organization.
Directory of Resources for Underserved Areas -- This directory is intended for use as a reference/rescue guide. It has been prepared to identify and describe financial aid programs, scholarships, fellowships, grants, awards, and other incentives to attract health care personnel to scarcity areas and retain them. This interactive site lets you search for opportunities by state.
Locum tenens -- Locum tenens can be helpful for filling short-term staffing needs, and it can also be a rewarding practice option for some family physicians.
FP Assist (Locate a Consultant or Attorney) -- FP Assist is the AAFP's interactive Web site to help you locate a management consultant or attorney. Simply indicate the state you're in and check off the services requested from the drop-down menu. The database will provide you with a listing of names of firms that meet your criteria. Link directly to the firm's Web site or e-mail.
