About PLC-Network's History & Mission | Physician Leadership Career Network

Our Story

At Physician Leadership Career Network (PLC-Network), we believe there’s a better path to healthcare leadership. In the rapidly evolving healthcare environment, more and more physicians are needed to step into leadership roles, but for decades there has been no dedicated resource.

We created PLC-Network to fill that gap. We are passionate about helping physicians elevate their leadership skills, connect with employers, and discover leadership opportunities, and we’re equally zealous about empowering healthcare organizations to connect with the physicians they need to fill their mission-critical positions.

Our Founding

PLC-Network was founded in 2019 by Kurt Scott. A decades-long builder and leader of physician and executive recruitment programs, Scott saw something was missing: a place for physician leaders and healthcare organizations to learn and connect. It took a pandemic and forced downtime to ideate and create PLC-Network, the only career resource exclusively for physician leaders.

The PLC-Network Platform

Now three years in business, the highly trafficked PLC-Network platform features leadership opportunities exclusively. Physicians connect directly to employers on the network, and there is NO cost for physicians to register as members.
