Physician Recruitment Trends: Responding to a Changing Post-Pandemic Market
As the world increasingly attempts to put the pandemic behind us, the healthcare industry continues to feel its impact on staffing. While COVID-19 did not ignite the healthcare staffing crisis, the stress it placed on medical professionals certainly fanned the flames.
According to a joint Jackson Physician Search and MGMA study, 65% of physicians report feelings of burnout (up from 61% in 2021) and 75% say it is worse than it was the year prior. As a result, physicians are retiring in higher-than-expected numbers, switching jobs, or leaving the profession altogether. In an August 2022 MGMA STAT poll, 40% of medical groups said they had seen a physician retire early or leave the practice due to burnout.

Rural North Dakota Hospital Strikes Gold (Twice) in Provider Recruitment
The provider shortage combined with rising burnout levels and increased turnover mean that even top-ranked hospitals are likely to face provider recruitment woes. This certainly was the case for a critical access hospital in rural North Dakota that had just lost its sole Emergency Department provider, a Nurse Practitioner. While one provider vacancy in the Emergency Department in a large, urban hospital might be palatable for a short time, it’s a serious disruption to patient care and an added burden on other busy staff in small, rural hospitals. And, it requires an immediate response.
Despite this hospital’s top 20 ranking among leading rural facilities in the nation, the candidate pool is inevitably small. “There just aren’t many Nurse Practitioners who rank rural North Dakota as their first – or even second or third – most desired practice locations,” says Search Consultant Dan Morton. “Finding one who has the experience to be the sole provider on staff, is a strong cultural fit, and who is willing to relocate starts to sound a lot like looking for a needle in a haystack.”
