In Indiana, the Department of Workforce Development forecasts a 7% increase, translating to 474 new physician jobs from 2020-2030.
The Demand brief also defines various terms related to demand projects and maps expected growth across Indiana’s counties. It serves as a valuable resource for understanding the evolving landscape of physician workforce needs in Indiana.

We released a brief report describing how Indiana’s physician pipeline-to-practice compares to our neighboring states and now comes the Bowen Snapshot: Indiana’s Physician Pipeline-to-Practice. This Snapshot summarizes the information included in the brief in just two pages! We hope this document succinctly communicates the state of Indiana’s physician pipeline and opportunities for strengthening it.
In addition to summarizing the extent of Indiana’s physician workforce shortage by looking at medical student and medical resident capacity, the Snapshot uses national data to quantify the size of the physician pipeline in 2024. It also describes the variation in state incentives to support the retention of doctors.

Each Snapshot highlights key data on the actively practicing workforce, including their primary practice setting, specialties, and populations served. Each also offers insights into the geographic distribution of nurses across the state.
