Critical Insight Strategies

Elite Travel PA Staffing

Critical Insight Strategies delivers clinician-led coverage built for the sickest patients and the most demanding environments—designed and directed by a doctorate-trained, board-certified critical care PA.

Residency-Trained Leadership Dual CAQs: EM + HM Procedural Excellence Disaster / Austere Readiness

Founded & Led by a Board-Certified Critical Care PA

This is not recruiter-driven staffing. It is clinician-designed deployment—built for high-acuity environments where expertise, procedural capability, and readiness matter. Critical Insight Strategies is founded and clinically directed by Dr. Mary Herc, DMSc, PA-C, CAQ-EM, CAQ-HM. Our model prioritizes patient safety, operational readiness, and accountable PA autonomy.

We staff only environments where clinical decision-making and procedural competence are essential: trauma, critical care, emergency medicine, and hospital medicine.
