The Belgian healthcare market: who are the most requested?

Since we started our activity in 2007 with our European medical recruitment agency AGISANTÉ (www.agisante.com), we have been able to notice trends in the French and Belgian markets, particularly with regard to the most requested medical specialties.

Despite more or less sensitive variations each year, the most requested specialties remain more or less the same. After our article about the most requested specialists in Francewe want to give you our "TOP 5" of the most requested medical specialties in France today (NB: this classification is based on our empirical observation).

TOP 5 of the most wanted specialties

1. Geriatrics
2. Radiology
3. Child Psychiatry
4. Neurology
5. Emergency

Geriatricians and radiologists are very requested

Since the recent change in Geriatrics and Emergency specialties, private and public healthcare structures are lacking of these specialists.

Interventional Radiologists are in high demand. To be able to work in Belgium, Child Psychiatrists and Neurologists are required to have a B2 French language level.

Cardiologists and Anesthetists in low demand

Please note that Belgium isn’t currently looking for Anaesthetists and Cardiologists. Nephrologists are also in very low demand, while Haematologists and Pulmonologists are sought.
