An Analysis of Trainee Salaries Offered in Nurse Practitioner and Physician Assistant/Associate Postgraduate Residency and Fellowship Programs in the United States.

Background Although there has been steady growth in the number of postgraduate nurse practitioner (NP) and physician assistant/associate (PA) residency and fellowship programs in the United States, little is known about annual salaries paid to trainees across a national sample of postgraduate programs and specialties. We describe postgraduate program NP and PA trainee salaries and the relationship to specific variables. Methodology An electronic survey was distributed via email to 336 postgraduate NP, PA, and joint NP/PA residency/fellowship programs between November 2023 and December 2023.

National Survey on Support for Nurse Practitioner and Physician Assistant/Associate Postgraduate Fellowship/Residency Programs and Director Compensation.

Introduction Although there has been a significant and steady increase nationwide in the number of physician assistant/associate (PA) and nurse practitioner (NP) postgraduate residency/fellowship programs, there remains a paucity of research related to the level of operational support available in many of these programs to facilitate specialty training. Therefore, the primary aim of this study is to conduct a national survey to gather foundational data regarding advanced practice provider (APP) postgraduate fellowship/residency operational support and program director total compensation data in the United States. Methodology A descriptive cross-sectional survey consisting of 27 questions was distributed via email to 336 postgraduate NP, PA, joint NP/PA, and certified nurse-midwifery residency/fellowship programs between November 2023 and December 2023.

Development and validation of the Readiness to Train Assessment Tool (RTAT).

Background: In recent years, health centers in the United States have embraced the opportunity to train the next generation of health professionals. The uniqueness of the health centers as teaching settings emphasizes the need to determine if health professions training programs align with health center priorities and the nature of any adjustments that would be needed to successfully implement a training program. We sought to address this need by developing and validating a new survey that measures organizational readiness constructs important for the implementation of health professions training programs at health centers where the primary role of the organizations and individuals is healthcare delivery.
