Top Story Create username. In the past several years, the physician recruitment market has done a complete about-face. Now, the emphasis is on specialists.
Radiologists are in particular demand.
In 1996, our firm carried out only seven searches for radiologists nationwide. In 2000, we conducted 126 searches for radiologists, and we expect that number to grow in 2001. In some smaller communities, radiologists simply are not available, and hospitals must rely on teleradiology to maintain services. The American College of Radiology is one of the few organizations that tracked the early retirement trend. The ACR's data show a significant increase in the number of physician retirements now vs. 10 years ago.
