The 2023-24 Doximity Recruitment Checklist
|
|
The Story |
|
Effective recruitment calls for proper timing, and there are activities you can do year-round to build your pipeline of candidates. Early in the year, assess your most pressing hiring needs and refine your onboarding process. Prepare for new doctors and residency program students before the spring and gear up for conference season. Through the summer, focus on employer branding. In the fall, reevaluate incentive packages, and consider focusing on recruitment leading up to the holidays. |
|
What You Should Know |
|
While each healthcare organization should have their own unique recruitment calendar, this blueprint can serve as a helpful starting point. Be sure to fill it in with more detail based on the conferences you’ll be attending and any other timely factors that are specific to your organization. Keep in mind that even if you don’t get the timing perfect, connecting with a candidate when they’re not actively looking could still work out for both parties in the future.

Understanding the Critical Challenges Affecting Physician Supply in America
|
|
The Story |
|
The shortage of physicians in the US has become a worsening challenge, but to solve it, we must first understand the complexities behind the crisis. Projections indicate there could be a shortage of 124,000 physicians within the next decade. Policies are being formed to address the shortage, but far-reaching changes must be made to ensure the sustainability of the US healthcare system.
|
|
What You Should Know |
|
The physician shortage cannot be traced to any one factor alone; instead, issues like regional disparities, limited numbers of medical schools and residency positions, and an aging population are all contributing to the crisis. To strengthen the supply of physicians, experts are calling for varied approaches, such as expanding the scope of other health professionals, extending reach via telemedicine, adopting policies like the Resident Physician Shortage Reduction Act which would provide thousands of new Medicare-supported physicians, and fostering a diverse workforce.

Healthcare labor market shows signs of stability |
|
The Story |
|
Data from the US Bureau of Labor Statistics shows that quit rates in healthcare have decreased slightly over recent months. Quits across all sectors have also trended downwards. The bureau states that the quit rate provides a measure of employees’ willingness to leave a job. |
|
What You Should Know |
|
While staffing shortages will continue to affect the healthcare sector for the foreseeable future, the stabilizing quit rates, along with other measures, are signs that we could be inching towards pre-pandemic levels. With that in mind, the bureau also reports the number of job openings has increased in healthcare recently, while the number of hires has decreased. This could suggest that healthcare organizations are retaining their employees more effectively, but recruitment continues to be a challenge.
