Despite increased Occupational Medicine (OM) resident numbers, a physician shortage persists. Limited medical school exposure and low primary care resident contact hinder recruitment for Occupational Medicine (OM) training.

Area of Science:

  • Occupational Medicine
  • Medical Education
  • Physician Workforce

Background:

  • A significant shortage of Occupational Medicine (OM) physicians exists in the U.S.
  • The quantity of OM residents has increased, but not sufficiently to meet demand.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify factors influencing recruitment and supply of OM-trained physicians.
  • To understand the perspectives of OM program directors and trainees on current challenges.

Main Methods:

  • Survey distributed to 29 OM residency program directors and 174 OM residents/fellows.
  • Response rates: 89.7% for program directors and 82.2% for trainees.
  • Data collected on applicant numbers, medical student OM exposure, and reasons for pursuing OM.

Main Results:

  • 50% of program directors were satisfied with applicant numbers.
  • Medical students received a median of 3 hours of formal OM teaching; 48.6% received none.
  • Limited exposure to OM in medical school and low rotation numbers for primary care residents were noted.

Conclusions:

  • Insufficient qualified applicants, minimal medical school OM exposure, and low primary care resident interaction impede OM physician supply.
  • Targeting fourth-year medical student training and primary care residency rotations may improve OM recruitment.
