Winter 2019 Most In-Demand

When it comes to physician recruitment, knowing the state of the overall market is crucial.

Recruiters who are aware of the relative ease or difficulty of a search can allocate their resources, time and tactics accordingly.

What are the most in-demand specialties this quarter?

The quarterly PracticeLink Physician Recruitment Index helps physician recruiters evaluate their opportunities, searches and job responses within a larger context on the PracticeLink website.

The physician specialties we see on this quarterly Index of the Most In-Demand Specialties are the specialties with the most jobs posted on PracticeLink and are then ranked by hardest to recruit.

Neurology holds steady at the top of the list with .86 candidates per job, while we also see Anesthesiology make its way into the top five, along with Urology, Psychiatry and Gastroenterology.
