liverpool Posted October 21, 2011 Report Share Posted October 21, 2011 Hey guys, wondering about people's thoughts on this... It seems to be a trend in Canada that it is harder for certain specialists (ie. a lot of the surgeries) to find work after residency...do you think this trend will be reversed (and rather drastically), in the next few years when the baby boomers start to retire en masse?

Hard to say, but on a side note I've heard from some docs that geriatricians will be in high demand and one geriatrician said right now their income and job availability is steadily rising fast.

Guest copacetic Posted October 22, 2011 Report Share Posted October 22, 2011 remember alot of boomers that would have retired starting recently have postponed retirement because they got wiped out in the stock market crash. remember most physicians are fee for service hence no pension. Their retirement is tied up in the stock market and investments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their retirement is tied up in the stock market and investments. Also doctors often don't retire in the same patterns as everyone else anyway for a variety of reasons. It is quite common for them to work well past 65 under any conditions. I wouldn't be look at all of the docs over 65 and be thinking they are all hanging on for now several years post the stock drop for money concerns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
