Healthcare trends come and go as do good and bad jobs.<\/h2>\n

When you look at top jobs across the United States, according to Investopedia\u00a0<\/a>they fall in the three industries in the order below:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Healthcare<\/li>\n
  2. Technology<\/li>\n
  3. Construction<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    As the No. 1 booming industry, healthcare jobs are expected to grow<\/a> 18% until the year 2026, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics<\/a>.<\/p>\n

    Job growth and salary are key predictors when it comes to which jobs top the hot jobs list, according to experts. It takes a healthy dose of data collection and analysis to see which jobs make the cut \u2014 something U.S. News and World Report has turned into a science.<\/p>\n

    According to the 100 Best Jobs<\/a> list published by U.S. News and World Report, physician assistant (PA) landed the No. 3 spot, while nurse practitioner (NP) landed at No. 7.<\/p>\n

    We decided to delve into both jobs to see what makes these two so special.<\/p>\n

    A recruiter\u2019s take on the two sizzlers \u2014 NPs and PAs<\/h3>\n

    Anne Folger is senior director of physician and provider recruitment with Banner Health at the Phoenix corporate office. Her division places candidates in Arizona, California, Colorado, Nebraska, Nevada and Wyoming.<\/p>\n

    She oversees recruiting efforts<\/a> for physicians and advanced practice providers, which includes nurse practitioners, physician assistants, certified registered nurse anesthetists (CRNAs) and midwives.<\/p>\n

    The well-documented physician shortage is driving the need to hire more nurse practitioners and physician assistants to fill the gap, Folger said. To compound the issue, an aging population largely drives the need for physicians to provide care for people who are living longer.<\/p>\n

    \u201cOur hiring of advanced practice providers has been low, [in past years] but it is growing significantly as the physician\u2019s shortage has arrived at our doorstep,\u201d she said. \u201cIn 2018, we hired 438 physicians, and 242 advanced practice providers. The majority of advanced practice provider hires were NPs.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

    Current projections suggest a physician shortage between 42,600 and 121,300 by the year 2030, according to a 2018 study conducted by IHS, Inc., for the Association of American Medical Colleges<\/a>.<\/p>\n

    When physician assistants come in with a specialty background it automatically places them in greater demand, according to the Association of American Medical Colleges report that suggests \u201cspecialty shortages will be particularly large.\u201d<\/p>\n

    \u201cNow when we recruit for PAs, we see them coming from specialty backgrounds in surgery specialties, general surgery, neurosurgery and orthopedic,\u201d Folger said.<\/p>\n

    As more physician assistants and nurse practitioners are placed into the hospital setting, Folger said it will be critical that healthcare facilities recognize these individuals for their full potential and enduring skill set.<\/p>\n

    Part of that includes learning how to create a welcoming environment where physicians share responsibilities with advanced practice providers. A culture shift may be in order.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

    \u201cIf you\u2019re a recruiter, you need to make sure your organization can embrace advanced practice providers, whether it\u2019s NPs or PAs, and that your physicians will fully engage them in the practice,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

    In the past, physicians did not always know how to work with nurse practitioners, said Folger. One of the big game changers will be learning how to integrate physicians, nurse practitioners and physician assistants into the clinical model.<\/p>\n

    It will require organizations to recognize how to put advanced practice providers into challenging roles where their talent is put to full use \u201cat the top of their license,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n
