Our Academic Leadership Practice
Practice Leader: Patti Hoffmeir
With 30 years of experience performing quality, high-level executive search assignments for healthcare institutions, Tyler & Company has gained the reputation of being one of the nation’s most successful search firms serving academic medicine. Recruiting the right highly qualified professionals to lead academic medical centers is the key to an organization’s success, especially with today’s quickly changing world of medicine. Tyler & Company excels in recruiting forward-thinking leaders who believe in high-tech, high-touch medicine, and who understand the financial as well as business and operational aspects of leading a successful institution in competitive times.
Whether conducting senior-level searches for leadership positions within medical schools, academic medical centers, community teaching hospitals, research institutes or in the life sciences, our goal is to find strong, talented candidates who can keep up with the needs of the ever-evolving healthcare and life sciences fields.
To recruit department chairs and other important clinical leaders, some top-tier institutions may still use the familiar nomination methodology to successfully fill open positions, but the search process is time consuming and labor intensive for search committee members. After decades of experience perfecting the search process, Tyler & Company has streamlined it. The thoroughness of our system, including interviewing and candidate referencing, ensures the search committee and the dean that the hiring decision made is the right choice, and the candidate’s leadership is a fit with the institution’s culture.
As the need for talented professionals and those with specialized skills continues to escalate with increased competition, the days of relying on nomination methodology and promoting from within are becoming less effective. Tyler & Company has the knowledge of academic medicine and the dedication to client success necessary to recruit a wide variety of leaders in all facets of medical education and healthcare delivery nationwide.
