CALDWELL LAUNCHES ACADEMIC HEALTHCARE PRACTICE

The Caldwell Partners International Inc. has launched its academic health care practice, a specialized division dedicated to addressing the unique leadership challenges faced by academic health systems.

"With the increasing complexity of academic health systems, there is a growing need for leaders who can navigate the intricacies of clinical, research and education missions," said Chris Beck, chief executive officer. "Our new practice is designed to connect clients with exceptional leaders who can drive innovation and excellence in these areas."

Caldwell leverages results-driven, scientific assessments to empower clients to hire with confidence and chart a path for success, minimizing turnover. The approach is customized to meet each client's specific needs, ensuring the ideal candidate is found to lead highly effective teams, drive transformation and accelerate performance.

Caldwell's practice team brings a diverse range of experiences and backgrounds, including unique expertise within academic health system operations. This diversity of background and specialized expertise makes them well placed to address the unique challenges of the health care sector and provide comprehensive, innovative solutions to clients.

The new academic health practice is structured around core academic medicine experts Steven Price and Dianna Jacob, and further leverages the broader life sciences and health care and higher education teams.

"The academic health care landscape continues to shift, and with it the profile of the ideal leader," said Mr. Price and Ms. Jacob. "Organizations need exceptional leaders who can help them face challenges that can range from financial growth and sustainability to addressing population health inequities or leading in resource-scarce environments. Caldwell's tailored approach aligns with these needs, using defining key competencies to deliver diverse, top-tier slates of candidates. Our use of innovative psychometric assessments also provides deeper insights into candidates' work styles, offering valuable support for successful onboarding."

The practice recruits for a variety of roles in the academic health care space, including:

• Medical schools: dean, associate dean, department chair, vice-chair, division chief, designated institutional officer, center and institute directors, and residency and fellowship directors;
• Academic/teaching hospitals and health systems: chief executive officer, chief medical officer, chief clinical officer, chief nursing officer, chief quality officer, chief medical information officer, chief operating officer, chief financial officer, vice-president and service line leadership.

Caldwell is committed to transforming the academic health care sector by placing leaders who can inspire innovation and achieve high standards in health care and education.
