Barbara “Barb” Katz has been a consultant, trainer, columnist and recruiter in the world of emergency medicine for 30 years and is considered the country’s leading expert in the emergency medicine job market.
She received a BA in fine arts in 1973 from West Virginia University and spent the next 20 years chasing the dream in Manhattan, before getting involved with the physician recruiting industry, eventually opening her own firm in 2001.
