Tina McLaughlin, senior physician recruiter for Mountain States Health Alliance, recognizes physician recruitment as an opportunity to impact a community's future. Though recruiting candidates can be a tough task, she's been encouraged over the years by community members who've been directly helped by her efforts. "Members of the community have personally come up to me and thanked me for bringing quality providers to our area to help them, their friends and their family," she says. 

You might have a similar story: A tough search open for a long time. Then, through hard work and diligence, you find a candidate who fits your organization's needs and culture, and a successful hire is made. It's stories like these that makes Kyle Hayman, DASPR, proud to be a physician recruiter. And it's stories like these that make PracticeLink proud to play a role.

It was a pleasure for our team members to sit down with Cari Chaves, physician recruiter for Signature Healthcare in Brockton, MA, just before our Boston PracticeLink Live! Physician Job Fair, where she joined us to get face-to-face time with potential candidates.

This week our recruiter spotlight shines on Christine Bourbeau, Director of Physician Recruitment at Saint Francis Hospital and Medical Center in Hartford, CT.
