Physician assistants

Over the last 12 months, the Miami metro added 1,377 newly enrolled nurse practitioners, 150 physicians, and 243 physician assistants to the registry. New NP enrollments outpaced new physicians: the advanced-practice workforce is growing faster than the physician base, and hiring plans that ignore that mix are competing for the scarcer pool.
