Rural Physician Workforce Survey: Rural Healthcare Specialty Priorities

Rural healthcare leaders face the same quiet math everywhere: the physician is still there, but the margin for losing one more is gone. A new survey of 227 rural physicians and administrators from Jackson Physician Search, LocumTenens.com, and MGMA found that 68% describe family medicine's local capacity as fragile or insufficient, and 59% of current rural clinicians say they may leave within two years. The new "Rural Healthcare Specialty Priorities" report maps which specialties to protect, which to grow, and which need a different coverage model altogether, backed by a specialty-by-specialty breakdown of what works best short term versus long term.
