Few vacancies are as costly as an open GI seat. Capstone permanently recruits gastroenterologists — general and subspecialty — for private practices, multispecialty groups, hospitals, and the PE-backed platforms consolidating the space.
The demand is outrunning the supply
Gastroenterology is now ranked the most in-demand physician specialty in the country — and the pipeline is shrinking. The number of new gastroenterologists entering practice each year has fallen to roughly 600, down about 40% from the mid-1990s, even as procedural demand and an aging population climb. The result is a workforce deficit that widens by hundreds of physicians a year and a median 186 days to fill an open GI position. Every week an endoscopy schedule sits short is revenue you do not get back.
Why GI recruitment is high-stakes
Industry estimates put the lost revenue of a six-month gastroenterology vacancy near $1.4 million — among the highest of any specialty. With strong procedural demand and active private-equity consolidation, competition for GI physicians is sharp.
How Capstone approaches it
We map the market, engage active and passive gastroenterologists, vet for clinical and partnership fit, and move quickly — because every week an endoscopy schedule sits short is revenue lost.
Settings we serve
