Last weeks Program
by: Brad Stia
Our speaker last week was Tom Warsocki, VP of Physician Services at Trinity Health. The subject matter of his talk was exactly that, physician services, as well as the challenges faced in recruitment and the importance of being proactive. In a nation where one-third of physicians are fifty-four or older and the expected shortcoming is estimated to total 200,000 or so in the next fifteen years, physician recruitment has become more pressing than ever. This is coupled by the fact that there are every increasing populations in need and generational changes being made in the demands of physicians whom no longer accept late nights away from their families. Tom spoke of the many things they do to check into, attract, and then retain good doctors. Not surprisingly, it turns out to be one heck of a task that can often start before a potential candidate even starts their collegiate education. However, despite the inherent costs of acquiring good physicians, to which we should all commend Trinity in their ongoing efforts, it is universally understood that good doctors are priceless. |
