There are several factors that determine whether a physician should run a private practice, get employment with a hospital or work in a group practice. Physician employment is increasing at a rapid pace; however, majority of physicians continue running a private practice in the US.<\/p>\n

According to a report by AMA, approximately 60% physicians worked in physician owned practices in 2012. Merely 23% were in practices partially or wholly owned by a hospital while 5.6% were directly employed with a hospital.<\/p>\n

In another report, industry experts have predicted that by the end of 2014, around 75% of newly hired physicians will be hospital employees. It is also being predicted that established doctors won\u2019t be considering hospital employment as an option and they would prefer to run their private practice instead.<\/p>\n
