📣 Provider Recruitment Team Spotlight: OBGYN National Conference Outreach
To support our health care system’s ongoing physician recruitment efforts, the Provider Recruitment team continues to maintain a strong national presence at specialty‑specific conferences, engaging directly with clinicians in some of our most difficult‑to‑recruit areas. In 2026, our national recruitment focus is centered on Cardiology, OB/GYN, and Psychiatry-all specialties currently experiencing significant physician shortages nationwide.
By attending national conferences, the Provider Recruitment team is able to connect face‑to‑face with practicing physicians, residents, and advanced practice providers, increasing awareness of Trinity Health of New York as an employer of choice while building early relationships to support both current and future workforce needs.
As part of this strategy, Jennifer Terk, Physician Recruiter supporting St. Peter's Health Partners in Albany, and Kristen Muzik, Physician Recruiter for St. Joseph’s Health in Syracuse, recently represented our organization at the American College of Obstetricians & Gynecologists - ACOG Annual Clinical & Scientific Meeting, held in May in Washington, DC. The conference provided an opportunity to connect directly with practicing and resident physicians, as well as certified nurse midwives and nurse practitioners, through engagement at a recruitment table in the exhibit hall.
During the conference, Jennifer and Kristen promoted OB/GYN physician openings across our Auburn, Syracuse, Troy, and Albany locations, as well as midwifery opportunities in Albany, Troy, Syracuse, and Schenectady. These conversations allowed the team to highlight the breadth of opportunities available within St. Peter’s Health Partners and St. Joseph’s Health while showcasing the benefits of practicing within Trinity Health of New York.
In addition, the team actively promoted a newly approved Early‑Sign Resident Recruitment Incentive for OB/GYN residents, designed to engage physicians while they are still in training. This program offers residents an opportunity to commit early to a full‑time employed position with St. Peter’s Health Partners or St. Joseph’s Health, providing financial support during training in exchange for a future employment commitment. This innovative incentive represents a new recruitment strategy being marketed and promoted by the Physician Recruitment team to strengthen long‑term pipelines in highly competitive specialties.
National outreach efforts such as ACOG play a critical role in increasing visibility, building meaningful relationships, and proactively addressing workforce challenges through strategic, relationship‑based recruitment.
