Is The U.S. Facing A Primary Care Crisis?

Primary care physicians play integral roles in their local communities. All across the country, citizens rely heavily on their primary care physicians for a number of different services, including:

Preliminary care for undiagnosed health issues
Whole-body care
Long-term, trusting relationships

The roles that primary care providers play in their communities is undeniable, and the demand for these healthcare practitioners is continually increasing. Unfortunately, many hospitals are having difficulty meeting this demand. With the physician shortage upon us, hospitals have to work harder and harder to fill their open positions. Our physician recruiting firm is here to look closely at the importance of finding qualified primary care physicians and how to overcome these challenges.

Why Primary Care Physicians Are So Crucial

Patients today want their healthcare to be increasingly personal. Most patients avoid going to highly trained specialists until they have been directly referred to them; instead, they prefer to talk with their family doctor first for a preliminary diagnosis.

By building long-term relationships with their patients, primary care physicians establish trust and credibility. Patients are more likely to reach out to them for assistance, to follow their advice, and to refer close friends and family to their providers. The sense of trust patients place in their providers and the emotional and physical stability they feel when working with these providers also seems to impact how quickly and completely they recover from their illnesses, although scientist have not been able to document exactly why this is. By ensuring that each resident has access to a trusted healthcare provider, the community can grow and thrive.

What You Can Do To Overcome The Primary Care Crisis

Primary Care Progress is a 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to making primary care more effective, patient-centered, and sustainable. The organization has dubbed the lack of primary care providers the "Primary Care Crisis." This crisis is an offshoot from the overall physician shortage currently looming over the United States, and it poses a uniquely dangerous threat to communities across the U.S. Check out this video from Primary Care Progress to learn more about this issue:

With the increasingly limited number of available qualified primary care physicians, it is more important than ever to enhance your physician recruiting strategies. As an experienced healthcare recruiting firm, The Hire Connection, LLC has the skills and expertise required to attract today's best candidates and ensure that they will be a proper fit for your healthcare facility.

Challenges Of Physician Recruiting In Rural Areas

According the USDA, roughly 46.2 million people in the United States live in rural (or "nonmetro" areas) - almost 15% of our entire population. Despite these numbers, rural hospitals routinely face several challenges when it comes to recruiting high-quality physicians. This week, The Hire Connection is here to examine some of these challenges and how you can overcome them.

Challenges Of Medical Recruiting In Rural Areas

Difficulty Traveling
With limited access to big airports, traveling to rural areas is often more tedious and time-consuming. As a result, it can be harder for local hospitals to convince physicians to come to their premises for interviews, let alone move their families to this rural location. Rural hospitals can combat this by offering to pay for their prospective candidates' travel expenses during the interview process. We also recommend including relocation assistance in your offer; if your new physicians knows that they will have help covering the costs associated with moving their families to the new area, they may be more likely to seriously consider your opportunity.

Lack Of Cultural Awareness
Because rural locations are less densely populated, many residents find that the opportunity to be exposed to and interact with different cultures is severely limited in these areas. However, it's important to remember that rural life is a culture all its own - and a beautiful one at that. When recruiting physicians for your rural opportunity, be sure to emphasize the unique advantages of living in a quiet community.

Limited Recreational Activities
Residents in big cities or densely populated suburban areas often enjoy access to a wide range of recreational and leisure opportunities, including everything from amusement parks to botanical gardens to community centers. Those who live in rural areas sometimes complain about the lack of recreational opportunities that are available to them, and prospective candidates may be reluctant to move to rural areas for this reason. However, living in rural areas offers its own set of unique benefits, so you an offset this drawback by playing up these advantages when recruiting potential candidates.

Ways To Overcome These Medical Recruiting Challenges

Living in rural communities offers several unique benefits that cannot be enjoyed anywhere else. Here are a few examples of the advantages you can emphasize when promoting your rural opportunity:

Lots Of Land
One of the biggest advantages of living in a rural area is the opportunity to own a large plot of land. In addition to helping build family wealth, owning a lot of land gives you extra privacy and the opportunity to expand your home, shed, or barn in the future. You can even use your land for supplemental income by growing (and selling) produce or building a recreational attraction (such as a corn maze).

Beautiful Views
It doesn't matter where in the country you are; if you live in a rural area, you can almost guarantee that you will be surrounded by beautiful scenic views. Majestic forests, sweeping plains, rolling hills, soaring mountains, and endless oceans are only a few examples of the amazing vistas residents in rural areas get to enjoy every day. Being surrounding by nature has also been shown to reduce stress levels and boost overall moods.

Lower Cost Of Living
Living in rural areas is often much more affordable than living in big cities. Almost everything costs less in rural areas, including housing, groceries, fuel, and recreational opportunities. Relocating to a rural area can be a great financial advantage for anyone who his looking for ways to keep costs down.

Rural areas also typically have lower crime rates, less noise pollution, and an amazing sense of community that you can't find anywhere else. These are all excellent examples of the benefits you should emphasize when marketing an opportunity in a rural hospital.

Remember To Recruit The Whole Family!

Experienced recruiters can tell you that if you want to successfully recruit top candidates, you must recruit their families as well. Family members, especially spouses, often have a significant impact on the decision to take a new job - particularly if it requires relocating to a new area.

If you are recruiting physicians for an opportunity at a rural hospital, contact the team at The Hire Connection, LLC. Our experienced medical recruiters can help you aggressively market your opportunity. We can also screen your potential candidates to ensure that you only interview those with the best potential.
