Featured blog post: Physician recruitment survey shows hospitalist growth
Hospitalist Leadership Connection, October 13, 2009
Merritt Hawkins & Associates recently released their 2009 Review of Physician and CRNA Recruiting Incentives report and revealed some interesting, but not particularly surprising, trends. This review is based on the physician and CRNA search assignments that Merritt Hawkins & Associates conducted during the 12-month period from April 1, 2008 to March 31, 2009. I look at some of the numbers with a bit of skepticism since this report is based entirely on its own internal data. However, it does seem to confirm some trends that are evident in the marketplace. Here are some highlights of interest to hospitalists:
Great demand for hospitalists!
Hospitalists are third on its list of most sought-after physicians, right behind family practice, which is number one by a long shot, and number two, internal medicine. The report points out that since many internal medicine physicians are pursuing hospitalist positions, the demand for traditional internists is on the rise. Personally, I am of the opinion that the practice of traditional (outpatient and inpatient) internal medicine faces possible extinction over the next 10 years or so. . .
