A slick Web site aimed at recruiting doctors to Wisconsin is only two days old but already advertises more than 570 openings. “It’s pretty amazing,” said George Quinn, a senior vice president with the Wisconsin Hospital Association, which helped launch the site. “This proves that we have a real shortage of physicians in this state.”
Wisconsin’s two medical schools graduate between 330 and 340 doctors each year, but only 38 percent remain in the state. For years hospitals, clinics and other health care providers have been struggling to come up with innovative ways to lure them back.
