A new issue brief from the AAMC Research and Action Institute’s Fellow in Residence, Gaetano Forte, MS, Assistant Director, Center for Health Workforce Studies, University at Albany, SUNY, presents an approach to better understand the roles and contributions of nurse practitioners (NPs) and physician associates (PAs) on the health care team and how this new knowledge should be incorporated into existing workforce projections models.  The paper proposes a two-pronged solution to modeling deficits and to better project supply and demand for NPs and PAs and asserts that models should adapt to how the workforce changes, including how it is composed, how it is deployed, and how it accomplishes its work.

“Your co-residents can be your greatest forever friends or merely your co-workers. Either way requires effort, but only the former helps you through the darkest days.” - Karen Cyndari, MD, chief resident and physician-scientist at the University of Iowa. Few aspects of medical education are as intense as residency. In the last week and coming days, freshly minted physicians across the country will tackle brand-new responsibilities, demanding schedules, and a raft of unfamiliar people and processes as they begin up to seven years of hands-on, supervised training in their chosen specialties. But residency also brings with it opportunities for extraordinary growth, tremendous achievement, and the development of profound relationships. Our AAMCNews team asked 17 successful physicians to share brief words of wisdom with today’s trainees: https://ow.ly/MNvA50SuLen We'd love to hear from you!
