About
I evaluate the physician onboarding and integration process from offer acceptance through the first 180 days, identify where ownership, expectations, communication, and handoffs are breaking down, and build a clearer process your organization can run repeatedly.
Retention matters, but this is not an open-ended retention investigation. The scope is the onboarding and integration process itself — something concrete enough to map, assess, redesign, and improve.
I spent eleven years in physician and provider recruiting, from HR Specialist through Senior Clinical Recruiter, watching what happened before and after a physician signed. My Master of Health Administration capstone focused specifically on physician onboarding and retention.
The same failure points repeated: recruitment promises were not carried forward, pre-arrival communication became fragmented, ownership was unclear, and early clinical integration depended too heavily on individual people remembering what to do.
Minick Advisory is built around turning that transition into a defined operating process rather than leaving it to chance.
This is not physician recruiting, credentialing, generic HR consulting, leadership coaching, or a promise to eliminate every physician departure.
When broader issues such as compensation, culture, workload, or leadership are affecting integration, they may be identified as context, but they do not turn the engagement into an open-ended organizational investigation.

If your physician onboarding process depends too much on memory, individual effort, or informal handoffs, the first step is a conversation.
