Academic Medicine Practice Successful management of an academic medical center is more challenging than it has ever been, requiring an increasingly wide range of skills to balance the diverse missions of academics, research, teaching, fundraising, and complex clinical delivery systems. Each medical school is different. Research-intensive medical schools are as different as those who do some research but are most clinically focused, as are teaching focused medical schools. Attracting leaders with the personal and professional characteristics to match the schools mission is imperative to ensuring success and requires the counsel of an experienced search partner. harrisandassociates. com

Our Proven Process We believe our experience as former members of search committees and consultants to them further differentiates us, and gives us the insight to effectively provide guidance on selecting and appointing functions within the committee while offering strategic counsel to the committee chair. And we appreciate that involvement on a search committee is largely voluntary, in addition to each members current position, and that the time commitment of each member necessary to bring about a successful search is extensive. After interviewing multiple constituents and gaining a thorough understanding if the mission of the institution, we work with the search committee, to develop a position profile that thoroughly represents the nature of the position, responsibilities and performance expectations of the next senior administrator. We then recruit highly qualified, diverse, distinguished candidates, particularly those who might otherwise not apply utilizing the best practices of the search firm industry. To reduce the burden of the search committee and its chair, we invest a great deal effort to develop a comprehensive search process that addresses the unique issues of the institution, identifies the challenges the next senior administrator must address as well as the personal and professional characteristics that the individual will likely need to succeed. We interview, assess, provide reporting and conduct reference checks on all finalist candidates and assist in the successful negotiation of offers to candidates. Upon successful completion of the search, we assist in transition and close the assignment by contacting candidates and referral sources to thank them for their involvement to enhance our client s reputation as well as maintain friendship with our contact base.
