DES MOINES, IOWA (December 8, 2023) — The health-care industry is navigating a transformative phase characterized by increasing demands for care amid rampant physician shortages and post-pandemic burdens on provider organizations. To meet this demand, medical groups and health systems must prioritize recruiting and retaining early-career physicians who bring fresh energy and adaptability to their organizations.
The Iowa Hospital Association webinar Recruiting and Retaining Resident and Fellows, scheduled 10-11AM, Thursday, January 18, 2024, will dive into the multifaceted challenges faced by health-care organizations in recruiting physicians, challenging the conventional wisdom about generational differences in the workforce, and underscoring the necessity of a strategic shift in recruiting and retention practices.
Recruiting early-career physicians is not a one-size-fits-all endeavor, and today’s beginning physicians are more likely to depart their first position post-residency or fellowship in the first three years than previous generations. Health-care organizations that develop innovative strategies that resonate with early-career physicians’ values, ambitions, and expectations will have a competitive advantage in filling existing gaps in care delivery and cultivate a robust and diverse workforce for the future.
By addressing early-career physicians' unique needs and preferences, provider organizations can elevate their appeal as workplaces, fostering a positive work environment that encourages long-term commitment and professional growth.
