Advanced practice providers are projected to be a key delivery mechanism of health care into the future. The need for qualified advanced practice providers is greater than ever.
According to most projections:
- By 2014, approximately 25 percent of all physician jobs will be unfilled within the United States.
- There will be a shortage of 150,000 advanced practice providers by the year 2025.
- Baby boomers number approximately 78 million, and are likely to be the largest consumers of medical care until at least the year 2035.
