The Future of Medicine is Personalized
18 May 2023
Increased chronic illness rates, innovation, and practice shifts drive healthcare toward more personalized, root-cause, holistic solutions
May 18, 2023 – Ft. Collins, CO – Patient-centered, holistic, personalized medicine is the future of healthcare. One-size-fits-all healthcare approaches are in the past, according to Lisa McDonald, CEO and founder of Integrated Connections, a leading national provider of healthcare recruiting and practice consulting services, specializing in personalized medicine, including functional medicine, integrative medicine, and longevity medicine.
“It’s what is broken about healthcare today – it’s not personalized,” one physician told McDonald during a recent consultation.
Job Growth Trends in Personalized Medicine
Integrated Connections’ most recent annual report revealed exponential growth of personalized medicine nationwide, including significant growth in remote jobs (+30%), leadership opportunities (+50%), and sub-specialty opportunities (+75%). Additionally, 75% of new job openings in personalized medicine were in private practice settings, as compared to 11% in health systems.
“Recent growth trends in the industry indicate a tremendous future for personalized medicine, including increased mainstream adoption, growing sub-specialization, and more career opportunities for clinicians and leaders,” McDonald said.
Integrated Connections improves access to root-cause personalized care for patients nationwide by providing staffing solutions and support for the growing number of medical practices responding to increased demand for patient-focused, individualized care.
Integrated Connections published the healthcare industry’s only list of the Top Educators and Experts to Follow in Personalized Medicine, to help clinicians and patients navigate the rapidly growing world of personalized health, including emerging sub-specializations such as chronic illness, Lyme, and Mold treatment. One physician recognized by Integrated Connections for her work with autoimmune diseases said: “The public awareness of the benefits of using integrative, functional medicine, or [longevity] medicine continues to grow,” said Terry Wahls, MD clinical professor of medicine at the University of Iowa Carver College of Medicine, and author of the Wahls Protocol book for managing autoimmune diseases. “The clinical success with these modalities leads to word-of-mouth referrals and demand for practitioners with these skills.”
What is Personalized Medicine?
“Personalized medicine is a patient-centric and root cause approach to healthcare. Recognizing that each patient may have different underlying causes for their health concerns and symptoms, personalized medicine clinicians tailor a treatment plan to the individual characteristics of a patient,” McDonald explained. “Personalized medicine encompasses the whole person, assessing lifestyle, environment and genetics to get to the root cause of chronic conditions in order to promote health and vitality.”
As chronic illness becomes more prevalent, demand has soared for personalized medicine clinicians. About 85% of older adults have at least one chronic disease, and more than two-thirds of all health care costs are dedicated to the treatment of chronic diseases.
Integrated Connections provides valuable professional resources including a personalized medicine job board, job search tips, and career development courses for clinicians in personalized medicine. An overview of the types of personalized medicine, such as functional, integrative, longevity, and lifestyle medicine, was recently added in response to frequently asked questions from clinicians, candidates, and employers.
