| * Change from 1996-97 is statistically significant at p<.05. # Estimates are not reliable because they have a relative standard error of greater than 30%. 1 Includes physicians employed by medical schools, HMOs, hospitals (including those in office-based practices), community health centers, freestanding clinics, and other settings, as well as independent contractors. 2 Number reflects the sample size for the 2004-05 round of the survey. The sample sizes for the 1996-97 round are much larger but in the same proportions by specialty. Source: HSC Community Tracking Study Physician Survey |
