In order to safely return to clinical practice after an extended absence, physicians and other health professionals are often required to be supervised or monitored for a period of time before practicing on their own. CPEP (the Center for Personalized Education for Physicians) is seeking rural and urban clinics and hospitals willing to serve as host sites for clinicians participating in the Clinical Practice Reentry Program. CPEP reentry clinicians are licensed, trained, experienced, and in good standing, and have not been subject to disciplinary intervention action by a hospital, licensing board, or other entity. These clinicians left practice voluntarily for a variety of reasons, such as family obligations, personal health reasons, alternate careers, or retirement, and wish to return to the workforce to practice in the same specialty. Serving as a host site can provide your facility with:
- The opportunity to work with health professionals on a trial basis, which may lead to successful permanent recruitment. Reentry clinicians are looking for long term placement opportunities.
- Increased patient volume as the level of required supervision gradually decreases and the reentry clinician sees patients independently.
- A rewarding teaching experience for your staff in assisting a peer with returning to clinical practice.
- The ability to help address Colorado’s increasing healthcare workforce shortage.
