Filling certain specialties can be a challenge. These past few months may have created even more demand for some of those specialties or made it even more challenging to recruit others. To help you prioritize your search and resources, PracticeLink developed a Physician Recruitment Index identifying the hardest-to-recruit and most in-demand specialties.These indexes include information gathered quarterly by the PracticeLink system based on supply and demand of specialty jobs and specialists. The more jobs per candidate in the system, the more difficult recruiters may find the search for those specialties.
