    Looming physician shortages across several specialties are exacerbating existing staffing issues for many medical practices. In this presentation, attendees will explore new research from LocumTenens.com and MGMA on the common challenges in physician recruiting and retention in rural and metro healthcare settings, as well as the crucial factors that motivate clinicians to choose where they will practice. The session will examine the evolving role of advanced practice providers (APPs) and the solutions proposed to prevent patient access issues from worsening at a time when care demands grow. Attendees will gain a comprehensive understanding of issues today and forecasted impacts for the year ahead, as well as strategic considerations to ensure robust healthcare delivery in these unique environments.

    This 60-minute webinar will provide you with the knowledge to:

    • Distinguish key challenges and overlapping factors for rural and metro healthcare organizations in physician recruitment and retention
    • Breakdown motivational factors for physicians’ decisions on where to work
    • Examine the impact of APPs and other staffing solutions for practices to enhance patient access and support physicians in the process
