Forget being finicky if you're looking for a new primary care physician. It's hard enough just finding one who's taking new patients. That's due to a doctor shortage in the United States, fueled by such factors as population growth, low pay, physician burnout, a lack of required postgraduate training programs and a wave of retirements.

The shortage is becoming so serious that some states are trying to make it easier for doctors to practice there, or they're creating new medical schools. And Congress is debating how to increase the number of training programs in the country.

Those measures aren't going to help you get a new primary care physician anytime soon, so you'll likely need to be flexible about the type of health professional you seek. Fortunately, you have options:

Primary care physicians

This category includes several kinds of primary care doctors. They've all earned a bachelor's degree (which takes three or four years), graduated from medical school (which takes four years), completed a training program (which takes at least three years) and passed licensing exams. They all promote wellness and preventive care and treat a wide range of conditions. But each doctor's focus is a little different.

Internal medicine specialist: An internist treats adults only and has completed training in a hospital and subspecialty clinics (such as cardiology or gastroenterology) for every organ system in the body.

Internal medicine-pediatrics: A "med-peds" physician treats adults and children and has trained in both internal medicine and pediatrics.

Family practitioner: This doctor can treat children and adults and has a broader scope than an internist or med-peds physician. For example, some family practitioners can perform minor surgery and even deliver babies.

Geriatrician: A geriatrician deals with the medical complexities of older patients with many chronic conditions. Geriatricians also consider the many issues that affect older adults, such as social or functional limitations.

Other primary care providers You can also turn to an advanced practitioner for primary care — a nurse practitioner (NP) or a physician assistant (PA). Both are licensed and can diagnose and treat patients, order medical tests and prescribe medication. But there are differences in their training and autonomy.

Nurse practitioner: The NP becomes a registered nurse first (with a two or four-year degree) and then earns a master's or doctorate degree in advanced practice nursing (which takes two to three years). NPs can practice medicine independently in about half of the United States. In many states, however, they must collaborate with a doctor.

Physician assistant: The PA has a health or science-related bachelor's degree and a master's degree from an accredited physician assistant program (which takes two to three years). Unlike NPs, PAs are not permitted to practice independently. They must work in collaboration with a doctor.

Doctors vs. advanced practitioners

Is there a difference in the quality of care you'll receive if you go to a doctor versus an advanced practitioner?

"It's difficult to say," says Dr. Anupam Jena, the Joseph P. New house professor of health care policy at Harvard Medical School and co-author of the book "Random Acts of Medicine." "Studies comparing the quality of care between the two groups are inconclusive. But if you spend four years in medical school and three-plus years in a training program, it's probably true that you'll perform better than advanced practitioners in some regards, since you have more training."

Still, Jena notes that NPs and PAs are skilled clinicians who can spot medical problems and, if they can't treat them, can connect you to the care you need. So, don't fret about the type of primary care provider you see.

"The priority is establishing the relationship. Otherwise, if you're sick, and you don't have someone you can call, you'll have to go to an emergency department or a walk-in clinic. That's not optimal," Jena says. "You want a relationship with someone who knows you and can make recommendations you'll listen to. And ideally it's important to have that in place before a serious problem develops."

Resources for finding providers Tap into these resources when looking for a primary care provider:

■ Referral lines: Hospitals often have referral lines that can direct you to primary care providers taking new patients.

■ Your family, friends and doctors: They may have recommendations for providers they trust.

■ Online reviews: Look at physician review sites, but take reviews with a grain of salt unless there's a large number of comments pointing one way or the other.

Clinical Coding and Schedule

Aviva has been actively working with four other major private insurers as part of the Clinical Coding and Schedule Development (CCSD) Group since their launch in 2005. The group was formed to oversee the improvement of coding standards used in the private medical sector.

The key initiative was to develop a common set of codes and descriptions across the industry. Codes have also been brought up to date to more accurately describe today's medical practice. Codes have been added, split, merged or deleted to reflect the current set of procedures practised for that speciality.

While the CCSD codes are used by all insurers, the associated fees are set by each individual insurer separately.

These fees are based on relativities which reflect such factors as complexity, duration and comparing one procedure with another. Where possible, we have considered information derived from other schedules circulating in the United Kingdom and also from our claims experience.

We do recognise that due to evolving medical practice, the complexities of procedures may change slowly over time. We do keep our approach to specialist fees under continuous review and welcome input from professional bodies in this respect.

Specialist fees represent a significant element of total private medical insurance claims and as such, have a major impact on premiums. For these to remain affordable, doctors, hospitals and insurers must work together to provide quality healthcare at a reasonable and realistic cost.

The fees we pay are set out in our published fee schedule and are calculated based on the clinical nature of each procedure and what we believe to be fair and reasonable. As independent practitioners your fees are set at your own discretion; however, we will only pay you up to the maximum stated in the fee schedule. Our customer will be liable to pay you any shortfall. It is therefore important that you tell us whether you will adhere to our fee schedule so that we can advise our customers of any potential shortfall and enable them to make an informed choice about their treatment.

If the shortfalls our customers must pay to you are, in our assessment of pricing, continually excessive, unreasonable and not substantiated with clinical evidence for the procedures performed, we may withdraw your recognition as an Aviva recognised provider.

Consultation fees

Consultants as independent practitioners are able to charge whatever fee they wish, but we do need to be able to advise members in advance of treatment whether they are likely to incur a shortfall and therefore it is essential that you let us know your preference. To discuss further, please call 0800 015 7756 or email us at avivapractitioners@aviva.com

You agree to charge appropriate consultation fees proportionate to the level of care and investigation for each patient, and only up to the maximum stated in the fee schedule.

All room and equipment charges are inclusive of the consultation fee and no other charges should be made.

At Saint Louis University, future family psychiatric-mental health nurse practitioners learn to apply the nursing process and medical/medication management to promote optimal mental health while engaging in active, ongoing collaboration with clients, their families, significant others and the interprofessional team.

Students pursuing the family psychiatric-mental health nurse practitioner program at SLU work with children, adolescents and adults of all ages with acute or complex mental health needs or psychiatric diagnoses. SLU's family psychiatric-mental health nurse practitioner program encourages evidence-based, culturally sensitive, recovery-oriented and holistic care.

At Saint Louis University, we partner with our students on clinical placement. Besides being paired with a faculty mentor with expertise in students' desired field of study, SLU helps students obtain preceptors for their clinical rotations.

The Valentine School of Nursing is renowned for excellence in nursing education. U.S. News and World Report consistently ranks our MSN-NP program as a top program in their Best Graduate Schools survey.

Curriculum Overview

Saint Louis University's post-master's nurse practitioner certificate programs are conducted almost completely online, requiring only two visits to the St. Louis campus.

A minimum of 15 credits is required for completion of a post-master's nurse practitioner certificate program. The total number of credits varies, depending on the particular certificate pursued.

At the Valentine School of Nursing’s discretion, students may transfer three to six credits of graduate-level coursework to be applied toward their post-master's certificate program of study.

Student files are individually reviewed. Students may be able to petition for advanced standing in courses such as “Advanced Health Assessment,” “Advanced Pathophysiology” and “Advanced Pharmacology.”

Careers

Upon completion of the post-master's nurse practitioner certificate program, you will qualify to take the certification test through the Pediatric Nursing Certification Board.

According to a U.S. News & World Report ranking, the median salary of nurse practitioners in 2022 was $120,680. The best-paid 25% of NPs made $129,680 that year; the lowest-paid 25% made $99,540. The Bureau of Labor Statistics projects 52.2% employment growth for nurse practitioners between 2020 and 2030. In that period, an estimated 114,900 jobs are projected to open up in the NP profession.

Increasingly, mental health practitioners like Karen Magruder of The University of Texas at Arlington are seeing a phenomenon in their clinical settings that isn't well-described in the research literature.

Magruder, assistant professor of practice in the School of Social Work, is digging deeper into a feeling of environmental dread called eco-anxiety. It's defined as the feeling of worry over future consequences of the ongoing climate crisis, not to be confused with eco-grief, a backward-facing feeling of mourning over the loss of what used to be.

"It's definitely becoming more of an issue that's being seen by those social workers who practice in a mental health setting," said Magruder, who recently wrote a piece on eco-anxiety in Social Work Today. "I saw it in my own practice and started digging into the literature. I realized that it wasn't formally described as much as I was seeing. Now, I feel like the research is catching up to what we saw in the field, especially among younger people."

Eco-anxiety is also leading to people making major life decisions based on their concerns, such moving to regions less affected by extreme weather, choosing environmentally oriented careers or not having children. Magruder said there are other ways to cope with these feelings, such as finding professional support from a counselor or becoming a bigger part of environmental solutions.

In addition to counseling others, Magruder volunteered her time with the DFW chapter of the Climate Reality Project, where she started a subcommittee for self-care to support those having a hard time with eco-anxiety.

"I saw a lot of my like-minded colleagues feeling similar thoughts and struggles," she said. "They were feeling hopeless, anxious and thinking about the direction that things are going."

Magruder said getting involved in advocacy is one way to lessen the mental health impacts of eco-anxiety.
