To determine the hiring activities of physician groups with respect to radiation oncologists.
A survey was mailed to a stratified, random sample of 589 groups in the fall of 1997. A total of 448 surveys were returned from groups with more than one radiation oncologist or diagnostic radiologist. The response rate was 76%. Responses were weighted to represent the total population of approximately 3286 practices in the United States that have multiple radiation oncologists or diagnostic radiologists. Eighty-seven responding groups had radiation oncologists and are the basis of reported data. Findings were compared to results of similar, previous surveys.
In the 12 months prior to the survey, groups sought to hire 289 (SE = 76) radiation oncologists, about the same as in 1996 but well above 1994 and 1995. Almost all the 289 jobs were full-time positions; 70% were to fill expansion positions, 10% were replacements for physicians who had left the profession, and the remaining 20% were replacements for physicians who had moved to other radiation oncology positions. During the year, an additional 83 (SE = 36) positions were vacated that groups did not seek to refill. Private, nonacademic groups offered 26% of their full-time positions on a non-partnership-track basis. Seventy-one percent of available positions were in groups that preferred recently trained radiation oncologists to those with 10-20 years experience. Groups succeeded in hiring 220 (SE = 65) radiation oncologists, 76% of those sought.
In 1997, the number of positions available apparently was approximately equal to the number needed, which is the number of graduates plus the number of experienced radiation oncologists moving to new jobs. However, because our sample was small, there might have been a considerable disparity.
确定医师团体招聘放射肿瘤学家的活动情况。
1997年秋季，向589个团体组成的分层随机样本邮寄了调查问卷。共有448份来自拥有不止一名放射肿瘤学家或诊断放射科医生的团体的调查问卷被返还。回复率为76%。对回复进行加权处理，以代表美国约3286个拥有多名放射肿瘤学家或诊断放射科医生的医疗机构的总体情况。87个回复团体拥有放射肿瘤学家，是报告数据的基础。将调查结果与之前类似调查的结果进行了比较。
在调查前的12个月里，各团体试图招聘289名（标准误=76）放射肿瘤学家，与1996年大致相同，但远高于1994年和1995年。这289个职位几乎全是全职岗位；70%是为了填补扩充职位，10%是替代离开该行业的医生，其余20%是替代转到其他放射肿瘤学岗位的医生。在这一年里，另外有83个（标准误=36）职位空缺，各团体并未试图填补。私立非学术团体提供的全职岗位中有26%是非合伙制岗位。71%的空缺职位所在团体更倾向于招聘刚接受培训的放射肿瘤学家，而非有10至20年经验的医生。各团体成功招聘了220名（标准误=65）放射肿瘤学家，占招聘目标人数的76%。
1997年，可提供的职位数量显然大致等于所需数量，所需数量即毕业生人数加上转到新岗位的经验丰富的放射肿瘤学家人数。然而，由于我们的样本较小，可能存在相当大的差异。
