In this podcast, 24x7’s chief editor Keri Stephens sits down with Chace Torres, aka “The Bearded Biomed,” to discuss the results of 24x7’s 2022 compensation and job satisfaction survey. Notably, the survey saw an increase in engagement, with female respondents doubling from the previous year.

Stephens and Torres discuss the factors that may have contributed to this increase, including outreach from educational parties and social media engagement from industry professionals. The pair also highlight the value of continuing education, which 35% of survey respondents said they were pursuing, and how it is vital for healthcare technology management professionals to grow in their career field.

Another key theme from 24x7’s 2022 compensation and job satisfaction survey was the number of respondents who said they would promote the HTM profession to others, with 36% very likely to do so and 29% likely, despite a prevalent theme of feeling overworked. Stephens and Torres also delve into the problem of an aging workforce and the need to replace those retiring from the HTM industry. Overall, the survey results indicate positive trends in the HTM industry, with an increase in engagement, diversity, and education.

Finally, Stephens and Torres get into the weeds of the salary survey and discuss some of the most surprising findings from it.
