Frequently Asked Questions: Hiring Family Medicine Physicians

Why is the family medicine shortage so severe?

Multiple factors contribute: medical student preference for higher-paying specialties, primary care burnout and administrative burden, reimbursement disparities with specialists, and increasing population healthcare needs. Only about 12% of medical graduates choose family medicine residencies, far below community needs.

What do family physicians look for in a practice?

Family physicians prioritize: manageable patient panels, strong support staff, work-life balance, practice autonomy, competitive compensation, and meaningful patient relationships. Administrative burden is a major concern—practices that reduce paperwork and provide adequate staffing attract better candidates.

How do I recruit family physicians to rural areas?

Rural recruitment requires: competitive compensation (often 15-20% above urban), loan repayment programs, signing bonuses, relocation assistance, lifestyle selling (outdoor activities, community), and spouse employment support. J-1 visa waiver programs provide another recruitment pathway for international medical graduates.

What is the ROI of hiring a family physician?

Family physicians generate significant ROI through: direct patient revenue, ancillary services (labs, imaging referrals), specialist referrals within the system, and preventive care reducing downstream costs. Most analyses show FPs generate $1.5-2.5M in annual revenue when fully ramped, depending on practice model.
