Why Gastroenterology is hard to recruit

Screening colonoscopy, GLP-1 prescribing follow-up, and IBD epidemiology drive structurally rising volume. PE consolidation of GI partnerships has reshaped the recruitment landscape. That is why Gastroenterology searches behave differently than primary-care searches: candidate universe is smaller, time-to-fill is longer, and compensation modeling is more sensitive to setting, productivity, and call structure. Current Gastroenterology base ranges I see in active offers land between $440K and $660K (median $510K). The two biggest variance levers above base are productivity (wRVU or collections) and geographic shortage premium.

What we look for in Gastroenterology candidates

Board certification is the floor, not the ceiling. For Gastroenterology we screen for the specific subspecialty exposure your role requires (Advanced Endoscopy, Hepatology, IBD, Motility), procedural and case volume aligned with your case mix, call-burden fit, geographic and family situation that makes a 5+ year tenure realistic, and a written compensation expectation that matches your offer band before any introduction. We never present a GI candidate without a documented reason-for-move narrative.
