Physician Employment Outlook: Market Strong for Physicians Seeking Employment

The increase in demand for physicians continues to remain strong; data proves if you are a physician looking for a position it is a buyer's market. The most in-demand specialties continue to be Internal Medicine, Emergency Medicine, and Family Medicine physicians, however most all physician specialists will have their choices of employment options.

As always geography is the most limited option when evaluating physician opportunities, the larger and more desirable cities will always offer positions based on supply and demand, and there continues to be significant demand from physicians for bigger metropolitan areas with significant medical and educational presence. 

According to a recent article in Physician's Practice blog site, healthcare employment remains strong for physicians seeking positions, employers seeking physicians have a more tangible struggle identifying talent in such a competitive market. More physician positions are currently opening than physician candidates are available to fill them.
