- While 48.1% of providers prefer private practice, working in a hospital-employed setting has increased in popularity over the last few years, over-taking single-specialty groups for the first time.
- After anticipating a decrease in compensation in 2020, the last two years have seen providers expecting an increase in the next year's comp.
