THAT'S THE MESSAGE Kelli Mulloy, President of Lewisville, Texas-based physician recruitment fi rm The Inline Group, has for recruiters looking to hire millennials — whom the Pew Research Center defi nes as being 20 to 36 years old. In an interview with recruitment agency PhysEmp, Mulloy outlines three key attributes millennials are bringing to the practice of medicine: A commitment to technology is baked in the cake. Technology su" uses all aspects of practice for millennials, which can be both good and bad, according to Mulloy. Smartphones put a fantastic array of diagnostic information in physicians' hands but are no substitute for face time with a patient. Work is important, but it's not everything. "Millennials won't wait to begin to enjoy life," Mulloy says. "They want to participate in the lives of their families and pursue other forms of a meaningful life outside of medicine." She estimates it now takes three physicians to replace every two who retire. Debt is still an issue. The burden of student loans is not getting easier. That has many millennial physi- cians seeking employment in facilities such as urgent care centers, Mulloy says. They are often able to earn higher pay and pick up additional shifts. Administrative burdens are lighter as well. ■ The ABCs of Millennial MDs BY STEVE BARRETT THIS ISN'T YOUR GR ANDFATHER'S PHYSICIAN. M D N E W S .
