The ZDmd Advantage

Why ZDmd?  Because attracting high quality physician leadership is more than just a transaction.

ZDmd is a specialized division of ZurickDavis, dedicated to the recruitment of physician leaders. We offer a full search and selection service to our clients, including strategic consultation to advise the structuring of the position within your organization, as well as leadership effectiveness evaluation.

ZDmd’s history and experience conducting leadership searches, in various types of settings, is a valuable asset to you. This enables us to assist our clients to align the talent and attributes of candidates to their specific physician needs.  Our dedicated ZDmd team includes a physician leader with special expertise in this area.  We partner with each client and at the outset meet with all the constituents who will be influenced by this appointment. Our purpose is to gain a thorough understanding of your culture, your strategic objectives and the operational issues that will have an impact on the selection of the best candidates. Through this consultation and evaluation, we are able to determine the best professional and personal fit for your organization, in addition to the technical skills and experience required.  This organizational assessment is essential to the search process and leads to the long term success of the candidate you select.

The ZDmd process includes leadership coaching during the transition period. Our on-boarding and coaching element greatly increases the likelihood of continued success for the candidate and the organization.

A search committee is often a feature of physician leadership searches. The ZDmd team is experienced and well versed at collaborating with Chairs and search committees and can, if necessary, advise on the composition and charge to the search committee.  In addition, we have developed Search Committee tools to assist the Committee and guide the process, maximizing the contribution of all parties.
