“…Additionally, when trainees and hematologists/oncologists elaborated on reasons why they had not specialized in HCT, their perceptions of poor compensation, long hours, emotionally draining and overbearing workloads, the additional training required, and limited job availability were the top factors cited. In a separate study, Wulff-Burchfield and Savani recommended that medical students and residents both be allowed and encouraged to participate in the care of transplantation patients, once again citing earlier exposure to transplantation as a career option as a vital means of recruitment and career development [9].…”

Hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) remains the only known curative therapy for many patients with hematologic, metabolic, and immunologic disorders. Furthermore, the use of HCT has increased with the emergence of HCT as a viable therapeutic option for older patients, those with significant comorbidities, and, with the demonstrated clinical effectiveness of alternative allogeneic donor sources, for those patients without a suitable sibling donor. The National Marrow Donor Program (NMDP) estimates that by 2020, it will facilitate 10,000 transplantations per year, double the number in 2010. To understand the needs of the HCT infrastructure to facilitate this number of transplantations, the NMDP organized the System Capacity Initiative 2020, centered on 6 working groups representing a diverse group of stakeholders. The Physician Workforce Group was tasked with addressing issues relating to recruitment and retention of transplantation physicians. We report here the results of our efforts and future initiatives.
