DALLAS, TX, March 13, 2010
/24-7PressRelease/ -- Access to government funding is helping to combat the shortage of healthcare providers in rural America, according to the most recent data published by The Delta Companies in The Healthcare Recruiting Standard.
"The ability for rural health clinics and their providers to access federal funds is driving demand in small populations, especially in the Midwestern United States," says Matt Robbins, director of marketing for Delta Healthcare Placement.
Placements of healthcare providers in communities with a population of less than 10,000 jumped 15 percent in the fourth quarter of 2009.
"Some states require nurse practitioners or physician assistants in rural clinics in order to keep their funding and candidates looking to expedite the pay-off of their student loans are relocating to these opportunities," adds Robbins.
The Healthcare Recruiting Standard is a free, quarterly resource that provides a summary of current data and market trends in the recruitment of allied, rehabilitation and mid-level healthcare providers.
