According to an article published today in American Medical News, 2013 is expected to be even more competitive for hospitals looking for physicians. This means that if physicians are considering new employment opportunities, hospitals will need to be even more competitive to attract top talent.
The most common incentives seeing an increase are signing bonuses and student loan reimbursement but in this climate with hospital employment at an all-time high, anything is negotiable in physician employment agreements.
With the impending changes in healthcare reform the physician shortage is expected to increase. Physician retirements, more quality of life work balanced schedules, and an increase in physician demand will provide a competitive environment for physicians seeking employment opportunities.
