Pinnacle recruiters have a higher degree of experience than industry averages. All have college degrees, compared to only 58.9 percent nationally. While only 25 percent of the nation's physician recruiters have at least six years of healthcare recruiting experience, most of Pinnacle's professionals exceed that standard.
Ethical business practices are imperative at Pinnacle Health Group. Chief Operating Officer Michael P. Broxterman has been on the board of the National Association of Physician Recruiters (NAPR) for eight years and was elected President for 2004-2005. The NAPR is the ethical and governing body of the physician recruitment industry.
