Another prevalent trend outside of shortages is the rising demand from healthcare facilities that radiologists possess the capability to interpret a diverse spectrum of medical imaging. Because many practitioners specialize exclusively in one area of imaging (Women’s Imaging, Diagnostic Radiology, Interventional Radiology, etc.), it presents a challenge to find multi-specialist providers that meet those demands.
To ensure the best care for patients, the needs of providers must be acknowledged and met. Radiologists often face high levels of burnout due to a shortage of providers and demanding conditions. According to a recent study published in Mayo Clinic Proceedings, radiologists ranked fifth out of more than 23 surveyed specialties in their reported burnout rate. Telehealth has been seen as a valuable solution to addressing these concerns.
