Industry Outlook for Primary Care Professionals

Locum tenens family medicine work rapidly advances your career while empowering you with flexibility and an increased earning potential. With the supply of primary care physicians being only expected to increase by an average of 7.3% across all specialties by 2030, the amount of primary care doctors entering the workforce is a dramatic shortfall in comparison to the projected demand increase of 22.5% according to The Health Resources and Services Administration. 

An estimation by The Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) projects a shortage of up to 55,000 primary care physicians in the US within the next decade, with the largest estimated increases in demand being for geriatric physicians at a growth rate of 50%, and internal medicine physicians at a growth rate of 22%. 

As family medicine nurse practitioners and physician assistants are expected to fill gaps within the primary care physician shortage in the next decade, The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) projects the employment growth rate for NPs to increase by an astounding 45%, creating over 120,000 new jobs for these advanced practitioners at a rate of 30,200 new jobs opening every year. BLS also estimates an impressive employment growth rate for PAs of 31% by 2030, increasing PA jobs by 139,100 within the forecasted period at a rate of 38,400 new job openings annually. 

With the primary care market size growing from a value of $260.1 billion in 2021 to a projected $1511.7 billion in 2030 as estimated by Grand View Research, The Staffing Industry Analysts (STI) also report that the locum tenens market is growing at the rapid rate of 27% every year. The skyrocketing demand for family medicine MDs, DOs, NPs, and PAs is dramatically increasing the number of attractive job opportunities for locum tenens providers specializing in family medicine across the nation.
