MIDVALE, Utah--(BUSINESS WIRE)--CHG Healthcare, a leading staffing agency specializing in physician recruitment, has acquired CareerMD, a career management platform offering both digital and live events to help clinicians find their first job out of training.

We have a shared vision for growing the CareerMD platform and look forward to continued collaboration to support physicians and other healthcare providers.”

CareerMD launched as an online resource for medical students in 1996 and, since then, has developed into a trusted and established platform to help physicians and healthcare providers enter the workforce and navigate their careers.
