Medicus report projects 24% more surgery center cases and 2027 anesthesiology, GI shortages

Ambulatory surgery center volumes are projected to rise 24% over the next decade. Shortages in anesthesiology and gastroenterology are projected for 2027. That puts the staffing gap early in the growth period, so for operators planning coverage and outpatient capacity, the nearer 2027 date sets the pace.
