The physician’s ADVOCATE!

“I cannot say enough about Salient MD. I was told by many trusted colleagues that finding a job that I both enjoyed and compensated me fairly in my preferred location would be challenging. The team at Salient MD helped me zero in on the most relevant positions, saving me time in my last year of residency (which all resident physicians know is their most valuable commodity). But most importantly, their combined years of experience and guidance resulted in a significant increase in my recruiting incentives and compensation. Salient MD is worth every penny and more, and their services should be viewed as an investment in your future.”

“Navigating the transition from residency to practicing as an attending physician can be daunting and extremely stressful. The amount of education/advice regarding moving to this next stage can be very limited. Working with Salient MD Agency allowed me to unload so much of the stress and anxiety around making this transition, allowing me peace of mind while finishing a very demanding residency program. Their expertise gave me insights into potential practices that I would’ve otherwise been unaware of, they also helped me optimize my future income through their experience in negotiating contracts. The additional funds they helped me negotiate with my signing bonus alone more than paid for their services. I would recommend their services to anyone making their foray into the next stage of practice.”

“When I decided to seek a better career opportunity for my practice, I needed assistance. I began by connecting with several large firms that recruit physicians. Every day at work I was interrupted by phone calls from recruiters calling at all hours, each functioning as a salesman to convince me of a specific position that he/she represented. The process was disruptive, time-consuming, and impersonal.

Very uniquely, Salient is the opposite of any physician recruiting firm. Salient represents the individual physician and not the hospitals and practices seeking to fill positions. Salient was personable and highly professional. They worked with me entirely on my own terms. Their only goal was to secure a position for me that met my objectives, and they were successful in doing so. Salient’s allegiance is to the physician they represent, and they are compensated only upon their client physician beginning their new position. I highly recommend Salient MD to any physician seeking either their first position, or a new professional opportunity.”

“When I first started thinking about hospitalist jobs as a second-year resident, I was intimidated by all the unknowns.  From helping us explore our preferences to signing a contract, Salient MD helped my family and I feel at ease every step of the way. Their service is truly invaluable for any physician facing uncertainty regarding their future”

“I recently enlisted the services of Salient MD to assist in relocating my practice from the Midwest to the Southeast to be closer to family. I chose Salient because they have a different business model. Salient works for the physician. They are YOUR agent.

Recruiting firms I’ve worked with in the past are working for one hospital or a group of hospitals. They are obligated to funnel candidates to their client hospitals. They are not actually working for the physician.

Salient is the reverse. They are engaged by the physician and represent the physician. I gave them my parameters, location, size, corporate or not, etc. They did extensive research to find hospitals which meet the desired parameters and were in need of a physician in my specialty.
They did pre-screening of other parameters as well prior to putting me in touch with the potential employer. They assisted or managed all aspects of the process up to and including contract negotiations. Salient has people with extensive experience in the medical workplace
and hospital management. This became obvious and was quite an asset during negotiations. Their assistance was invaluable and their fee was negligible compared to the results secured on my behalf. Finally, Salient’s fee was not due until I started working.

I highly recommend them to any physician seeking employment.”
