Things You’ll Learn:

  • There are 8000 residency and fellowship programs in over 800 institutions that are utilizing Thalamus technology.
  • Physician recruitment is expensive, with hospitals spending an average of $250,000 in direct costs per physician hired. It can take six months to fill a role. Because of those 6 months to fill a role, they can lose $2 million in clinical revenue.
  • Hospitals are recruiting for their major league teams without knowing who they even have in their minor league systems.
  • Medicare spends $16 billion a year to incentivize hospitals to train residents. Thus, retaining those doctors is more cost-effective than recruiting from the open market.
  • Thalamus uses AI to standardize and normalize medical school grades, providing a more consistent basis for evaluation.
