[For Physicians] Minami Medical’s “Medical Practice Succession & Startup Support” Service Expanded – Creek & River Co., Ltd.

News Highlights

Creek & River Co., Ltd. has expanded the medical practice succession and startup support services offered by “Minami Medical,” its job site for physicians. This expansion enhances support in areas such as group-wide recruitment branding, securing human resources through recruitment agency services, improving retention rates via training programs and career path sharing, and reducing the burden on front-line staff by leveraging head office functions like labor, accounting, and IT. The focus is particularly on addressing the challenges of securing personnel and streamlining back-office operations that physicians face when undertaking succession or starting a new practice.

M&A Medical Editorial Department’s Perspective

The expansion of Minami Medical’s medical practice succession and startup support by Creek & River Co., Ltd. signifies a shift beyond mere recruitment assistance towards providing comprehensive solutions to enhance the sustainability of medical institutions. Particularly noteworthy are the concrete measures aimed at maximizing group synergy, such as “sharing recruitment networks,” “standardizing training systems,” and “utilizing head office functions.” This indicates an intention to alleviate the burdens of personnel shortages and management challenges faced by individual clinics and hospitals through a broader network and specialized expertise. For instance, in response to the hurdle of “recruiting and retaining excellent staff” that individual physicians encounter when taking over or starting a practice, a more robust support system may be established by combining Minami Medical’s extensive physician network with Creek & River Co., Ltd.’s know-how in human resource support across various other fields. This could offer a new option, especially for medical institutions struggling with physician shortages in regional areas or specific specialties.
