Sterling Medical Corporation has placed clinicians into the country's most demanding healthcare environments since 1980. The kind of work that doesn't make headlines because it can't afford to fail.
We exist because patient care doesn't pause for a staffing gap. Whether it's a hospital in Pittsburgh, an overseas clinic in Germany, or a rural health center in Alaska, when the call comes, the clinician shows up, ready and credentialed.
Sterling was founded in 1980 on a simple proposition: when patient care depends on a clinician showing up, the staffing has to actually work. Four-and-a-half decades later, we've staffed hospital systems, outpatient clinics, community and provider-network health programs, and commercial facilities across the U.S. and overseas. The proposition hasn't changed.
Healthcare staffing is not a transaction. It's a commitment to the patients our clinicians serve, to the facilities we partner with, and to the careers of the people we place. That changes how we run a recruiter conversation, how we build a credentialing file, and which contracts we accept.
Today, Sterling Medical supports active placements across all 50 states and in more than 20 countries: physicians, nurse practitioners, PAs, CRNAs, registered nurses, clinical psychologists, social workers, medical coders, and allied health professionals working on the front lines of healthcare.

Sterling Medical Corporation has operated continuously since 1980. The company has delivered turnkey community-based outpatient clinics for more than 20 years and maintains active placements across hospital, clinic, and commercial healthcare facilities in all 50 U.S. states and 20+ countries.
Yes. Sterling delivers turnkey community-based outpatient clinics as a single accountable provider across four phases under one relationship: site selection and real estate, full facility build-out and equipment, credentialed clinical staffing on opening day, and multi-year clinic operations through the initial term and renewal periods.
Every Sterling placement runs through a compliance-driven credentialing workflow with primary-source verification at each issuing authority: state licensing boards, the DEA, the National Practitioner Data Bank (NPDB), SAM.gov, the HHS Office of Inspector General (OIG), and applicable state abuse registries. Nothing in the file is taken on trust.
Sterling places physicians across 40+ sub-specialties, advanced-practice clinicians (NPs, PAs, CRNAs), registered nurses in critical-care lines, behavioral-health providers, allied-health professionals (OT, PT, audiology), clinical pharmacists, dental staff, medical coders, and operational-support roles.
Yes. Sterling maintains active overseas placements in 20+ countries, including healthcare facilities in Europe and the Pacific. Overseas placements include host-country and visa paperwork, international credentialing, relocation logistics, and family-transition support.
Sterling handles full relocation logistics for placed clinicians: movers, temporary housing, family-transition support, and overseas paperwork (host-country, visa, dependent status). The recruiter who originally placed the clinician stays involved through onboarding and into renewal-period continuity.
Open clinical roles are posted on the Opportunities page. Clinicians can browse and apply through the live recruiting board, contact a specialty desk directly (physician, advanced practice, nursing, or overseas), or call 1-513-984-1800 to speak with a recruiter.
