Press Release Body: The Carlisle Group is aiding struggling resident physicians
across the country by connecting them with employers offering stipends to ensure
their employment post-residency. In many states where full licensure for
unrestricted practice is not available until the completion of a residency program,
stipends provide a welcome boost in income that can often double one’s current
annual salary and a reliable career path for the future.

"My search manager knew every detail about the opportunity," said Dr. Luke Martin
currently a general surgeon resident at Morgantown, West Virginia. Dr. Martin found
his next career opportunity and a sizable retaining stipend with the help of The
Carlisle Group. "It was nice to know that TCG had been on-site at the facility
multiple times to discover every aspect of the opening."

The use of locum tenens is on the rise in America, thanks to a nation-wide shortage
of physicians in general. Hospital officials worried about replacing their retiring
permanent physicians have begun to rely more heavily on offering retainer stipends
to physicians still in residency. “Facilities benefit by securing physician salaries
as well as a future need for the community,” explains Jeremy Robinson of TCG. So
while this helps take the pressure off of physicians living on the residents’
admittedly minimal income, facilities are able to plan their budget more
efficiently.

"In the last 16 months, I have noticed a considerable change in the marketplace,
swaying hospitals and facilities to offer stipends to physicians still in training,”
said Bobbie Aday of TCG. The trend amongst residents seeking stipends, some as far
out as 2010 and 2012, has been steadily increasing. “Many of our clients have opened
their parameters to accept and offer stipends to residents in certain specialties,”
she added.

"The Carlisle Group really cares about physicians coming directly out of training,"
says Dr. Martin. ”TCG displays the knowledge and the experience to lead physicians
out of training to an educated choice for their first practice setting.” Thanks to
its strategic partnerships with iSource Lists and PhysicianLicensing.com, TCG
acquires opportunities similar to Dr. Martin’s for their physicians with the help of
their extensive database and experienced search managers.

The Carlisle Group is a healthcare placement firm that offers a unique structure to
clients seeking to attract healthcare professionals and physicians to their
communities. Utilizing a variety of resources and strategic partnerships to
determine viable searches nation-wide, The Carlisle Group is a rising star in the
field of physician recruiting.
