The Surgical Market for Physicians, NPs, CRNAs, and PAs

Open doors to an overflow of exciting surgical job opportunities as a surgery locum with Barton! According to the American Association of Medical Colleges, projections estimate a shortage of anywhere between 15,800 to 30,200 surgeons across all surgical specialties by 2034, partially as a result of the high cost of a medical education. With the number of general surgeons per 100,000 people having declined by 26% from the 1980s to 2005, growth in demand for surgery professionals is projected to exceed 25% in the near future, while the supply of surgeons and other medical providers specializing in surgery is below the expected line of demand. 

Locum tenens surgery professionals are stepping in to fill these gaps at healthcare facilities nationwide, and receive the freedom, flexibility, and power to build work schedules that best fit their preferences and needs.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) projects about 21,400 new job openings per year for professionals specializing in surgery between now and 2031. With the locum tenens market in the US growing at a rapid rate of 27% every year, and 88% of healthcare facilities having utilized locum tenens providers during the past 12 months according to the Staffing Industry Analysts (SIA), the locum tenens job market for physicians, NPs, CRNAs, and PAs specializing in surgery is booming due to an aging and growing US population with increasingly complex health needs.
