National Rural Recruitment & Retention Network Inc

What it reported doing in 2025

3rnet maintained a national advertising campaign in four print journals and conference brochures, six websites, four social media sites, and exhibits at various conferences for practicing physicians, medical students and residents, and other providers. Additionally, 3rnet participated in rural health roundtables, webinars, conferences, forums, and meetings. 3rnet presents a unified presence of its 50 state members and 4 non-state members at these gatherings and via its website. 3rnet hosts a website as a tool for managing candidates and community profiles in an online database. The website provides to members the number of registrations for a given period of time, sorted by various fields such as specialty, visa or citizenship status, source of learning of 3rnet, and others. Social media continues to drive traffic to the website. However, most new registrations come from sources other than social media. The 3rnet website remains the only secure, non-profit website that helps rural and underserved communities. "users" to the website are physicians, other medical providers, and health professionals seeking positions in rural and under-served areas in the united states. 3rnet currently has 86,858 active candidates registered on its website. Candidates have access to complete contact information for 3rnet members, community profiles, practice opportunities, and links to other valuable websites. Communities/facilities use the website to post practice opportunities and have the same contact information and links available to candidates. Additionally, 3rnet members have access to a resource library with documents and presentations for use in their state environments, as well as a directory of facilities that post opportunities, the opportunities that have been posted, and the entire candidate database.
