Recruitment Programs
The Montana AHEC and Montana ORH (MORH) have specific goals and objectives on recruitment and retention of health care providers. It is recognized that recruitment of the health care workforce is an evolutionary process which includes providing information about health careers to students in middle school and high school, providing access to health professions education and training during post-secondary schooling, encouraging health professions students to learn about how quality health care is provided in urban, rural, frontier and other settings, delivering continuing health professions education to practicing clinicians and providing recruitment and retention information and services to health care providers and health care facilities.
National Rural Recruitment and Retention Network
The National Rural Recruitment and Retention Network (3RNet) is made up of state organizations that assist health professionals in locating practices in rural areas throughout the country. Each 3RNet state member has its own website page which:
- lists opportunities for practice locations,
- allows personal registration on the 3RNet,
- provides opportunities to explore job listings in other states,
- provides advise on the recruitment process; and
- locate other rural health resources. The 3RNet website is www.3rnet.org.
The Montana AHEC and MORH provide technical support to health facilities to assist with the identification, recruitment, and retention of physicians and other health care providers. In addition, physicians and other health care providers can obtain help with locating practice opportunities in Montana. The primary recruitment resource used by the Montana AHEC and MORH is the 3RNet.
MHA…An Association of Health Care Providers (formerly the Montana Hospital Association)
MHA is a respected health care leader in Montana and MTHealthJobs.com is an innovative recruitment program committed to attracting a high-quality workforce to Montana's health care facilities. You will benefit from our long-time, direct and close relationship with health care facilities from across Montana. And, for job-seekers, there are no associated costs!
Rural Health Career Center
The National Rural Health Association (NRHA) administers the Rural Health Career Center. This center can be used by health care providers to look for jobs and by health care facilities to post position vacancies. These announcements are searchable by location, job title, and/or industry. The NRHA Rural Health Career Center website is http://careers.NRHArural.org.
Montana Rural Physician Incentive Program
The Montana Rural Physician Incentive Program was established to encourage primary care physicians to practice in medically underserved areas of rural Montana. This program assists in the recruitment of physicians by providing repayment of the educational debts of physicians who agree to practice in areas designated as Health Professions Shortage Areas (HPSAs), Medically Underserved Areas (MUAs) and/or Medically Underserved Populations (MUPs).
The Montana Rural Physician Incentive Program is administered by the Office of the Commissioner of Higher Education and is funded through fees assessed to all medical students participating in the WWAMI Program and WICHE Program. The Director of the Montana AHEC/ORH serves on the Advisory Committee for the incentive program.
