The Carlisle Group Recruits Another Psychiatrist to Texas
Midland, Texas is conveniently located inside the Odessa - Midland metropolitan area and about 259 miles east of El Paso, Texas. The population is an estimated 266,941 as of 2009.
The sun over the West Texas Plains shines a little brighter now that Allegiance Specialty Hospital in Midland, Texas is celebrating accelerated physician recruitment success courtesy of The Carlisle Group. The facility had just opened in 2009, which meant that CEO Phil Sosa required a medical director as soon as possible. Thanks to the advanced marketing and procurement strategies of The Carlisle Group, Allegiance Specialty Hospital can continue to provide quality psychiatric care to the growing population of the “Tall City of the West.”
Allegiance Specialty Hospital sits in the middle of an underserved region for psychiatric needs, which meant that time was of the essence for TCG. Within forty seven days from profile to placement, The Carlisle Group was able to present a candidate who could perform both out-patient and in-patient duties and handle responsibly as a medical director.
“The Carlisle Group has done an outstanding job in helping us procure a psychiatrist for our facility,” explained Allegiance Specialty Hospital CEO Phil Sosa. “The response time from their initial e-mails to having a physician on site touring the facility was incredible.”
While the ability to produce a fast response is important in the physician recruiting industry, The Carlisle Group prides itself on maintaining the best interview-to-placement ratio in the industry. That requires going the extra mile in performing in-depth research on qualified candidates while using specific procurement methods when marketing an opportunity.
“Allegiance Specialty Hospital in Midland, Texas was a great facility to work with,” says TCG Senior Consultant Tiffani Meier. Midland serves as the business center of the Permian Basin, which accounts for over 20% of the country’s oil and case reserves. Midlanders enjoy a high quality of life which will only continue to increase with Allegiance Specialty Hospital’s most recent addition to their facility.
In today’s healthcare environment where the details involved in healthcare reform can be unclear, physicians and administrators alike can trust The Carlisle Group to shine a light on any issue that may be affected by changes in regulation and law. Combined with TCG’s unique process to physician recruitment and track record of success, hospitals and facility administrators can be assured that they will have a winning advantage no matter what the future holds.

Ken Shull attributes his facility's physician recruiting success to a combination of The Carlisle Group's experienced search managers and optimized procurement. "Direct mail works sometimes, but it's kind of a hit or miss," explained Shull. "With TCG's optimized e-mail campaigns, they have really turned up some good candidates."

The Carlisle Group Provides Opportunities with Options for Physicians in West Virginia
“Ongoing procurement is the primary reason we were able to secure a solid orthopedic surgeon and family practice physician."
- Tiffani Meier, TCG consultant
It can often be difficult for families of physicians looking to relocate at the same facility. Fortunately, The Carlisle Group has developed a history of success with families in special situations. Now, the town of Beckley, West Virginia is welcoming the arrival of an orthopedic surgeon, a family practice physician and their newborn child to the “City of Champions” thanks to the innovative procurement structure of The Carlisle Group.
After an in-depth profiling of the facility and community of Beckley, star TCG search manager John Colmer went to work on the search immediately. He soon procured an orthopedic surgeon that was excited enough begin working for the facility that he sent an application for licensure in West Virginia before interviewing.
“Ongoing procurement is the primary reason we were able to secure a solid orthopedic surgeon and family practice physician,” said TCG consultant Tiffani Meier. The Carlisle Group utilizes innovative procurement techniques and strategic partnerships to specifically target physicians in search of new opportunities based on a number of parameters.
The facility made for an appealing opportunity by being a part of the 1.6% of healthcare facilities that have switched to using a paperless Electronic Medical Record system. The city of Beckley itself is a growing community with a Rockwellian main street. “I’ve seen other firms let a search like Beckley slide through the cracks because they were not willing to market the opportunity appropriately,” Explained Meier. “TCG had the perseverance to achieve success. That’s just what we do.”
For many corporate and community hospital facilities throughout the rural portions of the United States, the process of attracting viable physicians to the community can be rampant with risks and complications. Several physician recruiting firms will often charge excessive hourly or monthly billings with little to show for it in the end. With The Carlisle Group’s unique process structure and track record of success, facility administrators can be assured that TCG can succeed where other firms may have fallen short.
