Critical Need for Emergency Medicine Physicians

Posted on: Monday, November 10, 2008

There has been a lot of talk in the news about the critical state of America’s emergency medicine facilities.  According to witnesses who testified before Congress this summer,  emergency departments across the country have grown so fast to meet patient needs that they are now finding themselves under-staffed and under-funded in several key areas.  If presented with a national disaster or terrorist strike, it may be difficult for some emergency facilities to handle the patient surge.

The primary reason for this sudden demand is simply that the patient view of American healthcare is changing. Rather than visiting a general practitioner for medical attention, patients find it more gratifying to visit the emergency room, have all tests done on the spot and receive treatment immediately – even if it isn’t a threatening emergency. The rising demand for emergency care can also be attributed to a national shortage in healthcare professionals and insurance payment procedures. To compensate the high demand, many facilities have begun hiring board certified family practitioners in to their emergency medicine department.

Physician recruitment agencies and physician search firms are working with hospitals and healthcare facilities nationwide to fill a variety of temporary and permanent assignments in emergency medicine.  However, as you know, sifting through hundreds of physician resumes and relying on physician recruiters to find the perfect candidate for you to interview could take months – if you’re lucky.  

So, why not take the physician recruitment process into your own hands and let eMatchPhysicians.com do the matching for you.  As a hiring organization, you simply have to complete an online profile listing all the pertinent details about your emergency medicine physician job opening and the specifications of who would be the right candidate, and you’ll receive instant matches.  Stop searching through stacks of resumes and wasting your time, and start interviewing the right match today.
