The thread title pretty much sums up the question.
With COVID19 and the resultant drop in volumes, we all know (and feel) the reduced physician hourly demand across the United States. At my site (pacific northwest) we've completely gotten rid of any part-time guys as the full-timers are now easily able to cover all shifts. Hell, we are relatively overstaffed to that end.
What is your experience with where you're at? Do part-timers even exist any more? Has anybody seen any demand or requests for part-time docs?
What do you think the trend will be over the next few years?
With my wife back to work and the kid getting older I want to move to part-time but it's increasingly not an option given decreased demand.
