White Papers

It's widely believed that America's ongoing physician shortage is placing a growing premium on advanced practitioners, including nurse practitioners (NPs) and physician assistants (PAs) who can carry out many of the duties commonly performed by physicians.

Demand for nurse practitioners (NPs) is at an all-time high, with requests for locum tenens NPs received by Staff Care increasing by 10 percent in the last four years.

Physician staffing and recruitment — including retention, relations, and the general utilization of locum tenens — is a key component of hospital administration, perhaps now more than ever.

Staff Care is pleased to offer a new report on Physician-to-Population Ratios and Physician Supply Standards, designed to assist in the development of physician community needs assessment plans, as well as determining the appropriate use of locum tenens physicians and advanced practitioners. 

As a medical resident or postdoctoral fellow, you face new challenges each day. Staff Care helps you meet those challenges with a comprehensive library of resources, tools and career-building information designed to give residents and fellows advanced insight into the healthcare industry.
