Abstract

Age Employment Otolaryngology Physician assistants Retirement Workforce
Recent research has shown the potential importance of fostering an efficient part-time employment model for otolaryngologists and other surgeons.4 Satiani et al have estimated that the shortage of otolaryngologists in the United States was 838 in 20 10.4 By 2020, it is projected to reach 1,662; by 2030, it will be 2,516; by 2040, it will be 3,387; and by 2050, it will be 4,272.4 In a survey of physicians (all specialties) ages 50 to 65, 14% planned to retire, but 12% expressed an interest in working part-time, defined as approximately 20 hours per week.5 This is a fairly realistic number of hours.
