Castle Connolly’s selection process
Castle Connolly employs a team of physicians who lead a meticulous evaluation procedure to find exceptional doctors nationally. Their digital nomination system is accessible to all licensed American physicians, enabling them to propose candidates across various medical specialties and geographical locations. This process also allows nominators to specify if the physicians they propose are among the finest in their region or the entire nation within their specialized field.
After nominations, Castle Connolly’s research team comprehensively assesses each nominated physician’s professional background. This involves examining their qualifications, educational achievements, affiliations with hospitals and academic institutions, leadership in research, standing in the professional community, any history of disciplinary actions, and, if available, data on patient outcomes. Furthermore, the review considers a doctor’s interpersonal attributes, encompassing effective communication, active listening, empathy, and the ability to instill trust and assurance.
The outcome of this process is the Castle Connolly Doctor Directory, a vast network of physicians recognized through nominations by their peers nationwide.
