Are you recruiting a new physician from outside of your system, or are you recruiting from within? If you are recruiting from within, it is a good idea to seek someone who already has the following values:
1) Good communication skills, including good listening skills.
2) Not afraid to talk about death.
3) Works well within an interdisciplinary team.
4) Interested in symptom management.
5) Interested in holistic practice.
The team support can offer a great deal of job satisfaction to physicians. There are also many opportunities to learn more about how people heal, even if they never recover.

Our physician champion is an internal medicine doc and he also runs a hospice program. People coming from hospice understand these concepts right away. But, there are physcicians from all sorts of practices that are drawn to palliative care.
Best of Luck.

Yes, we will be recruiting from within, at least that is our goal. Thanks for the values assessment, it will help us in designing our flyer and in our recruiting efforts.
