Internal medicine is the backbone of adult care — and one of the most contested recruiting markets in healthcare. Capstone permanently recruits internists for primary care practices, multispecialty groups, hospitals, and PE-backed platforms nationwide, with a search built around your panel and care model.
Demand high, the general pipeline thin
Internal medicine sits among the most-requested specialties in the country, yet the supply of general internists is squeezed: in 2024, roughly 88% of internal medicine residents went on to subspecialize rather than practice general internal medicine. Combined with a projected shortfall of tens of thousands of primary care physicians this decade, that leaves health systems competing hard for every internist who stays in general practice.
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
Primary care & multispecialty practices, hospitals & health systems, academic medicine, concierge & membership medicine, and PE-backed platforms.
