Did you know 108.5 million Americans live in a primary care shortage area? That's according to HRSA's latest report, and most of that gap is rural, affecting nearly 29 million people.

NPs and PAs can help close this primary care gap for rural communities with state-compliant practices backed by collaborating physician partnerships. 🤝

The opportunity to make a difference in these areas is easier than you think! We have the largest national network of physicians ready to build a foundational partnership with you, so even in rural states, your collaborating partnership has your back. And what’s even better - you can get matched with one in under 48 hours.

"Beyond the Agreement: What Meaningful Physician Collaboration Really Looks Like" is happening tomorrow, Friday, August 28 at 1 PM ET.

If you've ever felt like your collaborating physician relationship was more of a formality than a real partnership, this session was built for you. We're talking with two physicians who've been on the other side of that relationship for years about what separates a true partnership from a paper one.

“Beyond the Agreement: What Meaningful Physician Collaboration Really Looks Like,” is just one week away! This type of webinar is rare to come by in our field, so we've put our all into making this resource available to you.

We’re going to pull back the curtain on what makes a collaborating partnership work, not just what makes it compliant. Our hosts are two physicians who’ve spent years partnering with NPs and PAs across a range of specialties and practice settings. They’ll dive into the difference between a partnership and a transaction, how trust and communication hold a collaboration together, and the pitfalls that quietly derail otherwise good matches.

If you’ve wondered whether your collaborating physician relationship could be doing more for you, bring your questions to this one. 💬

AI is emerging everywhere in independent practices right now, and if you’re an NP or PA, you’ve probably already asked yourself whether it’s actually helping or quietly creating risk. 🤔

The honest answer is: it depends on what you’re using it for.

AI can give you real confidence when you’re building or scaling a practice, but it isn’t a substitute for clinical judgment, compliance oversight, or the collaborating partnership your practice is built on.

PA or NP? Neither path is better; they’re just built differently. 💜

PAs train in the medical model, earning one generalist certification that lets them move across specialties without going back to school. NPs train in the nursing model, choosing a population focus like family, pediatrics, or psychiatric care from day one, often with a clearer path to independent practice depending on their state.

From there, program length, certification exams, and how your state regulates your scope flow from that first choice.

New research from the Columbia University School of Nursing has piqued our interest. 👉 It found that from 2016 to 2023, the physician workforce grew by just 1.1% annually. Meanwhile, NPs grew annually by 10% and PAs by 8.6% during the same time frame.

Run that forward, and the gap only widens. Researchers project that annual physician growth will stay near 1.1% through 2030, while NP growth will climb to 11% and PA growth will continue at 5.6%. Essentially, more NPs and PAs will be practicing than ever, and the pool of physicians available to collaborate with them isn’t growing anywhere near as fast.

Our team knows this gap well, which is why we maintain the nation’s largest vetted network of collaborating physicians. When an NP or PA is ready to practice, the bottleneck isn’t finding a collaborating physician - it’s getting matched with the right one for your unique practice needs. And better yet, we build that collaboration to last with a steadfast foundation and continuous support from the CollabDocs team. 🤝

Solid recommendations can be difficult to identify when starting your practice. Everyone wants to know which EMR to pick, who to trust with billing, where to find malpractice coverage that won’t break the bank, or how to get a practice website up in time for your first patients.

So we asked our community which services make the biggest difference and compiled our favorite recommendations online. Be sure to bookmark this recommendation page! https://collaboratingdocs.com/services-our-nps-love/

Managing physician collaborations across a growing team of NPs and PAs comes with costs that go far beyond the physician’s fee: ☑️ Malpractice coverage. ⏰ Oversight time. 📋 Compliance tracking.

When you’re responsible for multiple providers, these things add up fast, and if you’re only budgeting for one of them, you’re not seeing the full picture.

That’s why we built the Physician Collaboration Cost Calculator, so healthcare organizations can understand the true cost of compliant NP/PA collaboration. Use it to:
🟣 Estimate your total collaboration investment
🟣 See where oversight and compliance costs add up
🟣 Plan your budget as your provider roster grows
