Abstract：
Background Although there has been steady growth in the number of postgraduate nurse practitioner (NP) and physician assistant/associate (PA) residency and fellowship programs in the United States, little is known about annual salaries paid to trainees across a national sample of postgraduate programs and specialties. We describe postgraduate program NP and PA trainee salaries and the relationship to specific variables. Methodology An electronic survey was distributed via email to 336 postgraduate NP, PA, and joint NP/PA residency/fellowship programs between November 2023 and December 2023. Frequency tables (for categorical variables) and descriptive statistics (for continuous variables) were used to summarize the data. Chi-square tests of independence were used to determine the relationship between trainee salary and program type, geographical location, and clinical setting. Results There was a statistically significant association between trainee salary for primary care and clinical profession (χ2(6) = 13.993, p = 0.022). Over half of NP respondents (52.1%) reported that their trainees had an annual salary between $76000 and $86000. The majority of PA respondents (57.1%) reported that their trainees had an annual salary below $75000. Respondents who were non-clinical professionals (50.0%) reported that their trainees had an annual salary of over $86000. The single physician respondent also reported that their trainees\' had an annual salary of over $86000. It appears that PA respondents were more likely to report lower trainee salaries than respondents who were NPs and non-clinical professionals. Additionally, respondents associated with primary care joint NP/PA cohorts were more likely to report higher trainee salaries than participants having NP-only cohorts. Lastly, there was a statistically significantly positive relationship between trainee salary and the number of postgraduate advanced practice provider (APP) trainees in psychiatric mental health (τb = 0.451, p = 0.006). Conclusion To the best of our knowledge, this national study is the first of its kind to examine and summarize APP postgraduate trainee annual salaries across multiple specialties. Additional studies are needed to clarify the relationships between trainee salaries and other variables.
摘要：
背景尽管在美国，研究生护士执业（NP）和医师助理/助理（PA）住院医师和研究金计划的数量一直在稳步增长，关于在全国样本的研究生课程和专业中支付给学员的年薪知之甚少。我们描述了研究生课程NP和PA实习生的工资以及与特定变量的关系。方法电子调查通过电子邮件分发给336名研究生NP，PA,以及2023年11月至2023年12月之间的NP/PA联合居留/研究金计划。频率表（用于分类变量）和描述性统计（用于连续变量）用于汇总数据。独立性的卡方检验用于确定培训生工资与项目类型之间的关系，地理位置,和临床设置。结果初级保健实习生工资与临床专业之间存在统计学上的显着关联（χ2（6）=13.993，p=0.022）。超过一半的NP受访者（52.1％）表示他们的受训者的年薪在76000美元至86000美元之间。大多数PA受访者（57.1％）报告说他们的受训者的年薪低于75,000美元。非临床专业人员（50.0％）的受访者报告说，他们的受训者的年薪超过$86000。单医生受访者还报告说，他们的受训者的年薪超过$86000。看来，PA受访者比NPs和非临床专业人员的受访者更有可能报告较低的受训人员工资。此外,与初级保健联合NP/PA队列相关的受访者报告的受训人员工资高于仅NP队列的参与者.最后,在精神病学心理健康方面，受训者的薪水与研究生高级实践提供者（APP）受训者的人数之间存在统计学上的显着正相关关系（τb=0.451，p=0.006）。结论就我们所知,这项全国性研究是首次对APP研究生培训生跨多个专业的年薪进行检查和总结。需要进行更多的研究来阐明受训者工资与其他变量之间的关系。
