Dermatology is one of the hardest specialties in medicine to recruit — and one of the most valuable to fill. Capstone permanently recruits medical, surgical, and cosmetic dermatologists for private practices, multispecialty groups, hospitals, and PE-backed platforms nationwide, with a bespoke search built around your patient mix and your market.
Demand far exceeds the pipeline
Recruiting dermatologists is widely regarded as one of the most difficult challenges in physician recruiting — the number of new dermatologists entering practice each year isn’t enough to replace those nearing retirement. Demand keeps climbing as the population ages and cosmetic and skin-cancer volumes grow, while patients in many markets wait weeks to more than a year for an appointment. The candidates worth hiring are rarely on the open market.
How Capstone approaches it
We reach beyond job-board applicants to the passive physicians who aren’t actively looking, vet for clinical and cultural fit before you ever see a candidate, and manage the search from first outreach to signature. Every search is built around your organization — never run from a template.
Settings we serve
