Healthcare Employers Seek Radiologists as Doctor and Nurse Practitioner Pay Rises

Nurse practitioners are in high demand as retailers like Amazon, CVS Health, Walmart, and Walgreens expand their primary care clinic offerings. According to a report from AMN Healthcare, nurse practitioners have been the most requested healthcare providers for the past three years. The rise of "convenient care" providers such as retail clinics and telemedicine platforms has fueled the demand for nurse practitioners. Average salary offers for nurse practitioners have increased by 9% this year, reaching $158,000. The entrance of large retailers into the healthcare market has led to bidding wars for primary care providers, with compensation for specialists also seeing a significant increase.

The Growing Challenge of Primary Care Doctor Shortages and Longer Wait Times in the US

The primary care landscape in the U.S. is changing, with a smaller percentage of physicians entering the field and a growing number of doctors retiring or selling their practices. This has led to shortages and longer wait times for patients seeking primary care. Many patients, particularly the young and healthy, are embracing alternatives such as retail clinics and virtual visits for their convenience. However, experts warn that forgoing an ongoing relationship with a regular primary care provider can have negative consequences, especially as people age and develop chronic conditions. Establishing a relationship with a primary care doctor is important for preventive care, early detection of health issues, and better health outcomes. Coordinating care in this changing landscape will be complex but necessary to ensure accessible and quality primary care for all.
