This webinar – scheduled for November 4, 2025, at 1 pm ET (12 pm CT, 11 am MT, 10 am PT) – is eligible for ACMPE, ACHE (live only), CME (live only), CPE (live only), PDC (live only) and CEU credit, and will be made available as a recording.

Why are so many newly hired physicians — especially those fresh out of training — leaving their first jobs so quickly? This costly trend frustrates practice administrators, who often feel caught between organizational demands and a new generation with evolving expectations.

This session presents new national research on the real drivers of physician turnover — and what healthcare leaders can do to address it. Recruitment experts will guide attendees through the pivotal window between job acceptance and full integration, emphasizing the importance of authentic relationship-building from recruitment through onboarding. Participants will gain practical strategies for building trust, aligning expectations, and fostering long-term loyalty. The session will also cover how to assess clinical readiness, provide effective feedback, and tailor growth opportunities to better support early-career physicians.

This 60-minute webinar will provide you with the knowledge to:

Identify key disconnects between physicians’ expectations and administrators’ assumptions about loyalty and retention, and recognize red flags for early departures
Distinguish the behaviors and key relationships that authentically engage physicians and strengthen connections from pre-onboarding through practice integration
Compare physician and administrator perspectives on culture, feedback, leadership development, and more
