CultivatID: Proactive Healthcare Talent Identification

Evansville, IN's CultivatID helps healthcare systems cultivate and track local talent from their high school education through their professional careers. Their community-centered approach provides unprecedented visibility into the regional talent pool, allowing for proactive engagement and the development of a long-term talent pipeline. The healthcare talent management platform is designed to address the critical shortages of hospital staff, including physicians and clinicians.

CultivatID's platform tracks students in Southern Indiana at various educational stages, including high school, undergraduate, graduate, medical school, and graduate medical education (residency). By engaging with candidates early and monitoring their educational and geographic progression, Indiana healthcare systems can build loyalty and identify individuals with existing ties to the community who are more likely to stay long-term.

This community-rooted strategy leads to higher retention rates and reduced recruiting costs. The platform features a dynamic database, candidate identification tools, relationship tracking, geographic analysis, education mapping, and pipeline analytics. CultivatID aims to help transform a healthcare system's talent strategy, improve outcomes, and strengthen regional healthcare capacity.

A healthcare talent database, no matter how well-organized, is a passive tool. It relies on users to create profiles and them waiting to be discovered. Most platforms offer value only through the potential connections they might facilitate, acting as little more than a directory.

CultivatID is built upon a structured community.

By incorporating workshops, events, and regular meetings with community mentors, the platform turns young professionals into active participants in their own career development. They become more involved and attached to a community and progress into contributors to their local healthcare landscape.

The Southern Indiana CultivatID community is currently tracking high school students, undergrad and grad students, medical students, and specialties within graduate medical education (residencies and fellowships). The team plans for a public release of the platform and its capabilities in mid-September 2025.
