2016 Survey of PA Recruiting and Employment Trends. Conducted by Merritt Hawkins in cooperation with the American Academy of Physician Assistants (AAPA), this survey examines physician assistant recruiting and employment trends at hospitals nationwide. The survey shows how many hospitals are recruiting PAs, why they are recruiting them and the roles they are filling.

How much revenue do physicians generate on behalf of their affiliated hospitals per year? Merritt Hawkins’ new survey provides the answer.

The 2017 Survey of Physician Appointment Wait Times and Medicare and Medicaid Acceptance Rates indicates that it now takes an average of 24 days to schedule a new patient physician appointment in 15 of the largest cities in the U.S., up from 18.5 days in 2014, 20.5 days in 2009 and 21 days in 2004, previous years the survey was conducted.
