| Job Outlook | | According to the Occupational Outlook Handbook, "employment of physicians and surgeons will grow faster than average for all occupations through the year 2014 due to continued expansion of health care industries.
The growing and aging population will drive overall growth in the demand for physician services, as consumers continue to demand high levels of care using the latest technologies, diagnostic tests, and therapies." In addition to employment growth, job openings will result from the need to replace physicians and surgeons who retire during this period. |
