<h2 class = 'uawtitle'>The Changing Trend in Physician Employment</h2><br />
<div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawbyline'>by Amy Cline</div><br /><br />
<div class='uawarticle'>An increasing number of new physicians are choosing Emergency Medicine as their specialty as opposed to the once popular practice of primary care. This trend has been attributed to a number of variables by some of the top physician recruitment firms in the country.<br />
<br />
With quality of life being one of the biggest factors when looking for employment, many physicians feel that emergency medicine jobs provide the best of both worlds. Residents feel that the emergency medicine speicalty offers the luxury of having a professional life as well as time for a personal life. Having a set schedule as opposed to being on call has proved to be an attractive feature for residents.<br />
<br />
It has been proven that ER doctors work fewer hours than any other specialty in the medical field today. This was recently noted in the 2008 report from the Department of Health and Human Services. Primary care physician can be required to work day and night taking them away from their family time.<br />
<br />
The shift in physician employment could be attributed to the growing number of women physicians going into practice. Some females residents start their families during residency or have young children which increases the need for a practical work/life balance with a set schedule.<br />
<br />
Intrigued by the fast pace and complex mysteries that are presented in the emergency department, many physicians find that the excitement of bringing a fast solution to their patients is an appealing choice. The alternative choice could mean being faced with the long term care of diabetes and chronic illnesses, a choice that does not offer a wide range of diversity.<br />
<br />
Recruiting firms have confirmed that 51% of positions filled in the past year were for hospital placements, a dramatic rise from the 14% eight years ago. Physician recruiters are seeing young doctors accept physicina jobs in hospitals, forcing many independently owned practices to close.<br />
<br />
Private practice is less appealing to a young physician in today's fast paced society. Choosing Emergency Medicine and hospital employment is a seamless transition avoiding the costs and stressors of private practice. Subsequently, primary care physicians are trading in the keys to their private practice leaving behind the stress of administration, physician recruitment, reimbursement hassles, rising malpractice costs and general liability risks for life in the ER.<br />
<br />
In today's uncertain economy, hospital-based employment offers stability to young physicians that are entering the job market under mounds of student loans and education debt. Emergency medicine offers financial stability and quality of life.<br />
