Supply, Demand, and Recruiting
Trends in Endocrinology
In a June 2020 article, the Journal of Endocrinology and Metabolism reported that “in the absence of any intervention” there will be a deficit of 2,700 endocrinologists in the U.S. by 2025. The shortage of endocrinologists is being driven to a significant extent by the widespread prevalence of diabetes in the U.S. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 34 million Americans, or one in ten, have been diagnosed with diabetes, while 88 million are prediabetic. Obesity is a further driver of endocrinal disorders, and obesity prevalence in the U.S. now runs at 42%. As with other medical specialties in short supply, relatively few endocrinologists are being trained as both the general population and the available workforce of endocrinologists ages.

10 Top Trends Affecting
Medical Practice 2022
The COVID-19 pandemic has changed medical practices, so physician trends will reflect innovation in care delivery influenced by the long pandemic.
“Physician trends toward a desire for more modern and innovative healthcare solutions should not be a surprise to anyone because transformations have been part of the industry dialogue for quite some time. But the pandemic has accelerated the need for innovation in the physician setting,” said Amel Hammad, managing director of consulting firm Riveron, based in Chicago.
1. Technology grows in importance
“Now more important than ever, innovation and use of technology is key to performance,” Hammad said. “Physicians will need to continue to invest in technologies that allow them to provide the same type of visit they would provide in office, virtually.” Andy Colbert, managing director of healthcare finance for Ziegler in Chicago, added, “The biggest opportunity on the clinical side will be population health management and patient engagement tools that sit on top of the EMR platform. From an administrative perspective, I expect to see continued innovation as it relates to billing, coding and automation to cover all components of the revenue cycle -- from charting to billing.”
