The NAPR/NALTO Annual Convention Committee is very excited about the sessions being offered, especially the NAPR/NALTO School of Healthcare Recruitment. Just a reminder for those recruiters who register for the NAPR/NALTO School of Healthcare Recruitment, you are committing to attending all four sessions as each session will build on the previous. As an added bonus you may also attend all general sessions, meals, and social functions offered at the convention at no additional cost.
Both NAPR and NALTO have made a commitment to offer the NAPR/NALTO School of Healthcare Recruitment at future joint annual conventions and hope recruiters new to the industry or needing a “back-to-basics” refresher will take advantage of the inaugural NAPR/NALTO School of Healthcare Recruitment.
Sign up now for the School of Healthcare Recruitment at the NAPR Annual Convention! The classes are limited to only 20 spaces and they are filling up fast! This is a unique opportunity for you to receive very valuable training from other industry leaders!

President-Elect Karen Zeller is seeking members to serve on NAPR committees in 2006-2007. Effective Committees of the NAPR are critical to our collective ability to meet the objectives for the organization. This goal requires individuals who are dynamic and committed to advancing our professional agenda. Incoming President Karen Zeller wants the 2006-2007 committee selection process to result in a cadre of physician recruiters who are ideally suited to meet the challenges of the coming year. The President does committee selection, with final approval by the Board of Directors.

Services Mailing Program Current NAPR Services Mailing Programs:
During the previous year, the NAPR had
increasing levels of participation in its physician mailer program.
In fact, a third of the members participated! This affords greater
cost savings for each member who participates in this program.

The National Association of Physician Recruiters (NAPR), headquartered
near Orlando, Florida, was founded in 1984, for the purpose of creating a

could work together to maintain standards of excellence within the
industry and ensure the highest degree of quality in recruitment services.
Today, the NAPR represents over 400 members, including recruitment firms,
in-house staff physician recruiters, as well as contract staffing and
management, trying to make a difference in the physician recruiting
industry.

Enabling you to make more placements!
SPECIAL DUAL
PURCHASE PROGRAM for In Practice &
Residents/Fellows
Would you like to make more placements this
year? If so, you’re not alone. In fact, your association has been
working hard to equip you with quality physician leads at only a
fraction of the “street” cost. Here’s how:
While we cannot guarantee it, we feel certain the new
online job site and easy-to-use online physician reply form will
increase the response rate significantly.
NAPR
Services passes on these savings to you. In fact, we have kept this
service at its breakeven point or a little above it for the past two
years, and even with that, have tried not to raise the costs for the
members because the committee has been dedicated to providing these
programs as a service to participants. As you may guess, it is a
constant struggle for us to provide these services as we must juggle
plans in order to keep things on budget when we are never certain we
will have enough participation to run a particular mailer.
Last year, for our Total Specialties Program, we had a
couple mailers with fewer than the requisite number of participants
to be able to mail at a break-even level. We had the participants
meet by phone and they voted amongst themselves to send fewer pieces
for a lesser cost. So participants do seem to rely on the mailers,
and we try to accommodate their needs as best we can.
Due to the costs for design and printing of the
mailers, the increase in postage, the new online design of the web
responses, and the time costs of scanning each physician’s response
and uploading it into an online file, we are unable to cut prices
any further.
However, we always look for cost savings
wherever we can, including last year’s program, which provided 2,500
leads. Buying into these leads costs much less than one placement
for most, which means each lead is less than $10. Who couldn’t make
one placement our of 2,500 leads?
Please open the
attached PDF files to find out how you can participate on our
current mailing programs and get in on a great source of
cost-effective candidate leads!
