This database pioneered the development of "ties." Ties are the links that a physician has to a specific region or community -- whether through family, personal history, or professional training. Our research shows that physicians are 84% more likely to be interested in an opportunity that is located in a place where the physician has a historic tie. Our system allows you to focus your searches on the best target audience of physicians, giving you the best results possible in the most efficient way.

Types of ties that are used include:

• Current addresses
• Historic addresses
• Place of birth
• State license history
• Medical School training history
• Residency & Fellowship training history
• and others

At PracticeMatch, we do not want our clients to simply find "skills" with their physician candidates. We want to help our clients recruit the entire physician, creating an atmosphere from the beginning that will help to raise the likelihood of retention. Our clients recruit physicians who know and love the community as well as the workplace!
