Free Online Seminar on Physician Recruitment

On January 14, 2026, a free online seminar titled "Recruitment Methodology: From Zero Applications to Hiring 7 Physicians" will be hosted by Medical Informatics Corporation based in Chiyoda, Tokyo. This initiative aims to assist home healthcare clinics that are struggling with the ongoing shortage of physicians and the challenges of recruitment.

The Need for the Seminar

The aging population in Japan has resulted in a heightened demand for medical services. However, the working-age population continues to decline sharply, which, particularly within home healthcare, has led to difficulties in attracting younger physicians and a growing average age among existing medical professionals. Currently, the effective job offer-to-applicant ratio for all professions stands at approximately 1.2 to 1.3, while the ratio for physicians is around 2.0 to 2.5, indicating an intensely competitive landscape for recruitment.

Due to this "seller's market," many clinics find themselves overwhelmed, with clinic directors and administrative heads trying to juggle recruitment alongside their busy duties. As a result, applications may receive late responses, and job postings fail to convey the attractive features of the clinics, further stagnating the hiring process. Hence, this seminar will specifically address this pressing issue by showcasing detailed case studies, including a successful example of a clinic that went from zero applications to hiring seven physicians.

Seminar Agenda

The seminar will delve into three key themes:

1. An Overview of the Current Recruitment Landscape
The session will analyze the harsh reality of doctor shortages and the challenges associated with recruiting in the home healthcare sector.

2. Analyzing Your Clinic's Market Position
Participants will learn how to distinctly outline their target persona along with the unique attributes of their clinic using the 4P/3C analysis.

3. Strategies for Advanced Recruitment Activities
Attendees will discover how to conduct speedy responses to potential applicants and forge strong relationships with recruitment agencies, ensuring that they can effectively attract and retain physician talent.
Practical tips will be shared on how to transform job postings into attractive offers that resonate with candidates.
