The objectives of the study were to assess emergency medicine (EM) physician perceptions of the EM job market 2 years after "The Emergency Medicine Physician Workforce: Projections for 2030" was published in and to examine how the workforce report may have influenced perceptions about job prospects.
A cross-sectional survey was conducted in 2022 of EM residents, fellows, and attendings at 21 practice sites. Main outcomes were perceptions of the likelihood of currently finding any job, currently finding a desirable job, and confidence in the future EM job market.
Note that 831 of 1938 physicians (42.9%) responded. A total of 92.4% reported a high likelihood of finding any job currently, 49.8% reported a high likelihood of finding a desirable job currently, and 44.4% reported future confidence. Workforce report familiarity was associated with greater likelihood of finding a desirable job. Fellows were least confident in the future. Residents with desired Midwest location were twice as confident in the future job market; those with desired West location were less confident. Attendings 20 or more years post-training were more than twice as likely to report a high likelihood of finding a desirable job and almost twice as likely to report future confidence. Attendings in leadership were nearly three times as likely to report high a likelihood of finding a desirable job and future confidence.
EM trainees and attendings have favorable perceptions of the current job market but are less confident in future prospects. As the projected surplus of EM physicians appears to have had an impact, updated projections are needed for more accurate assessments of the future of the specialty.
本研究的目的是在《急诊医学医师劳动力：2030年预测》于[具体年份]发表两年后，评估急诊医学（EM）医师对急诊医学就业市场的看法，并研究劳动力报告可能如何影响对就业前景的看法。
2022年对21个实践地点的急诊医学住院医师、研究员和主治医师进行了横断面调查。主要结果是对当前找到任何工作的可能性、当前找到理想工作的可能性以及对未来急诊医学就业市场的信心的看法。
请注意，1938名医师中有831名（42.9%）做出了回应。共有92.4%的人报告目前找到任何工作的可能性很大，49.8%的人报告目前找到理想工作的可能性很大，44.4%的人报告对未来有信心。熟悉劳动力报告与找到理想工作的可能性更大相关。研究员对未来最缺乏信心。希望在中西部工作的住院医师对未来就业市场的信心是其他人的两倍；希望在西部工作的人信心较低。培训后20年或更长时间的主治医师报告找到理想工作的可能性很大的可能性是其他人的两倍多，报告对未来有信心的可能性几乎是其他人的两倍。担任领导职务的主治医师报告找到理想工作的可能性很大和对未来有信心的可能性几乎是其他人的三倍。
急诊医学实习生和主治医师对当前就业市场看法良好，但对未来前景信心不足。由于预计急诊医学医师过剩似乎已产生影响，需要更新预测以更准确地评估该专业的未来。
