 Enter the key words “healthcare staffing” or “physician shortage” into any search engine on the internet, you are exposed to endless articles on physician shortages around the country.  These articles come from small, rural towns, as well as big metropolitan cities.  It is common to see articles posted as recent as 1-3 hours.  With the abundance of articles relating to this industry posted everyday, it gives one a bleak and gloomy outlook on physician recruitment by healthcare facilities, clinics, hospitals, and groups.  Many medical / hospital facilities are increasingly looking for temporary relief through using locums agencies.

According to LubbockOnline.com article Study: No cure in sight for long-term shortage of doctors in region, nation, 1 out of 5 Americans “do not have a regular doctor because they live in areas without one”.  Many of them use ERs for medical attention.  The overuse of the ER costs the US $18 billion a year.  Texas alone will have a shortage of 4500 physicians by 2015.

There are remedies and possible solutions for these shortages.  Some solutions are for “medical schools and even state governments to give medical school students incentives to serve in those places”.  Students graduate with average of $100,000 of debt.  More students are pursuing specialties, for better compensation to pay off debts.  This leaves less primary care physicians for rural settings, and large urban hospitals have the needs for specialties, where it’s more critical.

There are 27 counties in TX that do not have a single physician.  “Panhandle-South Plains region needs at least 30 more physicians in order to be removed from the medically underserved list.  The standard definition for a medically underserved area is one physician for every 3,500 residents.”
