Hi there,
I'm not an ophthalmologist... so bare with me.
What's the job market like for ophthalmologists right now? Is it tough to find jobs in hospitals or to find practices to join?
I ask as I'm currently dating an ophthalmology fellow and we've been discussing marriage.
They're just about to finish their program and their plan is to move back to the small rural town where they grew up to start their own practice (and they want me to come along). I'd like us to stay in our current location (a major city), but they claim the market is saturated and its hard to find work.
Yet I talked to a doctor in another field recently and he claimed there's a nationwide shortage of ophthalmologists and they can find work anywhere... so who's right?
Thanks
