Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  Cynthia Coan: Makes sense. If there's a shortage of specialists in key areas, it follows that senior specialist positions (those requiring advanced knowledge and experience) would be tough to fill; hospitals can't find enough qualified people.
