Bio
Adam Newsom serves as Divisional Vice President of Business Development for The Medicus Firm's Academic Search division, working with academic medical centers, medical schools, children's hospitals, and integrated health systems nationwide. He develops customized recruiting programs for institutions across the country, consulting on physician recruitment strategy, succession planning, market trends, compensation, and physician well-being and retention.
Before joining TMF, Adam held roles across academic and community healthcare, including at a large non-profit academic healthcare system in Louisiana, a community-owned, not-for-profit system in East Tennessee, and a physician-owned multi-specialty group with more than 400 providers in south Mississippi. That firsthand view of academic and community health systems shapes how he approaches every search today: fewer assumptions, more market intelligence, and solutions built around each institution's specific goals.
Adam earned his B.S. in healthcare marketing from the University of Southern Mississippi College of Business.
