The competition for APP talent is unprecedented and is placing upward pressure on compensation as organizations look to bridge the gap between higher patient volumes and limited access to care.


With the advanced practice provider (APP) workforce in high demand, compensation continues to increase and pay practices are evolving – reflecting ongoing competition in a tight market for talent. Learn more from the latest results of SullivanCotter’s Advanced Practice Provider Compensation and Productivity Survey, which represents one of the most robust datasets of its kind for hospitals and health systems nationwide. This year’s report includes data from nearly 850 organizations on more than 134,000 individual APPs and 4,700 APP leaders. Median total cash compensation continues to grow across all major specialty categories. The 2024 results show the highest year-over-year increases for Surgical specialties at 6.0%. While Primary Care (5.7%) and Medical specialties (5.5%) follow closely behind, the report indicates more modest growth for Hospital-Based specialties at 3.7%. Base hourly rates for each category have followed a similar and steady growth trajectory.
