Recognizing the unique nuances of recruitment in academic medicine, Merritt Hawkins enlisted the expertise of three former medical school deans to establish a division dedicated to placing physicians and physician leaders in academic and research settings. Since those foundational days in 2012, we have created a culture of innovation and excellence in placing over 1,000 medical faculty, department chairs, laboratory directors and other leaders at top academic medical centers throughout the United States.
Our ongoing goal is to match qualified clinicians with academic medicine jobs that involve training the next generation of physicians and advanced practitioners, while improving the health of the patients and communities they serve.
Today, the Merritt Hawkins Department of Academic Medicine consists of over 30 seasoned recruiting consultants divided into four distinct specialty groups. Our clients and candidates benefit from having a team of recruiting consultants with expertise particular to academic medicine and their specialty need.

During the entire process, I felt my recruiter was working on my behalf. She consulted with me regarding the offer and worked continually as a liaison until the offer was arranged to my satisfaction. I have already recommended Merritt Hawkins to a urologist colleague and I would absolutely work with them again. Keep up the amazing work!
