Trends in National Physician Recruiting
Healthcare has traditionally been one of the most stable industries in the country. It has provided those who can get through the rigorous training required with profitable and stable jobs. Four of the five top 100 jobs in a recent U.S. news ranking were in the medical field. However, trends are changing, and it can be very hard to gauge which medical career paths are going to remain stable and which are going to lose momentum.
Healthcare reform, government cuts, hospital debts, and changes in reimbursement methods are changing who can and can’t afford to take on new staff. Currently, it seems that hospitals are cutting back staff, leaving a much larger supply than demand for those seeking a career in that setting. However, other medical fields, such as primary care and nursing, have a shortage of staff right now.
So how do you figure out what to do with your own career in light of these nationwide physician recruiting developments? You don’t have to.
