Barker is an active speaker to residency and fellowship cohorts, and multiple industry relations, helping physicians navigate their career paths and contract process. She is published with several white papers which discuss strategies for physician retention and preventing burnout.    

“I look forward to leveraging my expertise to grow our gastroenterology practices supported by OneGI. Recruiting for this platform offers the ability to have laser focus on gastroenterology subspecialties with a goal of providing expert service to physicians. I am excited to partner with the leadership in developing key processes for growth and strategic alliances across our medical and commercial enterprises,” said Barker. “OneGI is an impressive organization with a vision for growth and service to the communities they serve. I am thrilled to be on board and eager to get started,” said Barker.

“I take great pride in serving physicians - facilitating for them and their families in helping to shape their future. My approach is personal and relational in communication style, as I find this critical in establishing strong partnerships. I feel honored to play an integral role in finding the perfect fit for a physician’s unique skills and interests both personally and professionally,” stated Barker.
