We pay $160.00 per case and there may be 5 cases in one day. We have very old cases and backlogs. We are in need of all specialties in the medical field and are in desperate need of physicians to help us. You can contact me for further info at 312-886-5237. Can you help us? I am open for any ideas you may have to help me recruit. Thanks. Social Security Administration/ODAR is seeking semi or retired physicians to appear at Disability Hearings.

How are we treating women physicians who take a year or two off for childbearing?

Do they have to go back and take SPEX or similar?

I really don’t know, haven’t paid attention.

Retired Physicians re-entering workforce will have significant challenges to face:
1) Many hospitals now require Board Certifications for privileges.
2) To be able to do procedures in a hospital, a list of recent minimum numbers of procedures done is required.
3) Electronic Medical Records are making big headway in major health systems – needs computer literacy.

I think locums is the best place for these retired physicians to reenter. The other place which would benefit from the vast experience of these physicians is the Academics. Since academic hospitals have seen a gradual efflux of talented physicians in the recent years.
