According to the latest report from the U.S. Bureau of Labor and Statistics, between 2020-2030 physician and surgeon employment is only projected to grow about 3 percent. The report estimates about 22,700 new physicians and surgeons will be hired nationwide each year during that period, with most of them filling openings due to predecessors retiring or otherwise leaving the workforce.
While jobs are predicted to grow 3 percent on average, some medical professions will see a dip in job growth.
Anesthesiologists, gastroenterologists, OB-GYNs and general pediatric doctors are expected to see a job loss of 1 percent to 2 percent.
At the Becker's 23rd Annual Spine, Orthopedic and Pain Management-Driven ASC + The Future of Spine Conference, taking place June 11-13 in Chicago, spine surgeons, orthopedic leaders and ASC executives will come together to explore minimally invasive techniques, ASC growth strategies and innovations shaping the future of outpatient spine care.
