Medicus Report Highlights Rising Urologist Shortage and Workforce Challenges

The United States is projected to face a shortage of 950 FTE urologists in 2026, a gap that is expected to more than double over the next decade. To better understand the factors contributing to the shortage, Medicus Healthcare Solutions, a leading locum tenens and healthcare workforce solutions company, has released a new report titled The Urologist Shortage: Data, Drivers, and Strategic Solutions.

The report brings together national workforce data, the latest AUA Census findings, and proprietary Medicus insights to provide a comprehensive view of the current urology workforce. It examines workforce trends, geographic disparities, and supply-demand projections shaping access to urologic care across the United States.

The report also outlines actionable strategies healthcare leaders can consider as they work to strengthen urology coverage, support care continuity, and sustain access within their organizations.
