Chronic staffing shortages, increasing demand for care, and persistent burnout have become the norm in healthcare — these are circumstances that are unlikely to change any time soon. What is changing, however, is how physicians view opportunities and what they want from their careers.
While compensation is still king, physicians today are looking for something more. From more access to mentoring and growth opportunities to better work-life balance and a voice within their organizations, today’s early and mid-career physicians are looking for cues that they can climb a career ladder that is characterized by not just compensation, but also communication, participation, and growth.
This six-part guide is authored by regional vice presidents of recruiting for Jackson Physician Search. They are on the front lines connecting physicians, physician executives, and advanced practice providers with the organizations that need them most.

Physician Recruiting for the Future of Healthcare
A new generation of physicians brings a fresh perspective to the industry’s ongoing challenges and offers hope for a future with fewer healthcare disparities, better patient outcomes, and more affordable, accessible care. How will they successfully affect positive change? That remains to be seen, but one thing is certain — these early and mid-career physicians have different wants, needs, and motivations than their predecessors. Compensation still matters, of course, but they also expect flexibility, autonomy, and transparency.
Through the course of more than 10,000 physician placements and countless conversations with physicians, the Jackson Physician Search team has witnessed this shift firsthand and is actively helping healthcare organizations adapt their recruitment strategies to better meet the needs of these young physicians. From what makes a job initially attractive to what motivates them to stay long-term, the organizations that understand these nuances will be best positioned to recruit and retain them.
