Physician Recruiting Market Dynamics
Physician recruiting nationwide continues to take place in the context of constrained physician supply and increasing demand for physician services.
In its April 2024 report, the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) projected a shortage of up to 86,000 physicians by 2036 ( The Complexities of Physician Supply and Demand: Projections From 2021 to 2036. AAMC. April 2024 ). The report cautioned that should growth in the number of current medical residency positions not materialize, physician shortages could be significantly more severe. The AAMC report further noted that “if communities underserved by the nation’s health care system could obtain care at the same rate as populations with better access to care, the nation would need approximately 202,800 more physicians as of 2021.”
