AGS/ADGAP, in partnership with Phairify, developed a series of brief online surveys to anonymously aggregate geriatrician data on compensation, productivity, and practice characteristics across the numerous settings where geriatricians provide care. AGS/ADGAP geriatrician member participation is key to building a resource that helps geriatrics academic programs and AGS/ADGAP members.
To access the surveys and data:
Once completed, members who participate in the surveys will get immediate and unlimited access to Phairify's specialty-specific professional practice information and career management platform. The rich databank of information can be used to discreetly:
■ Access national level specialty-specific data which allows you to compare your compensation, productivity, and practice characteristics with those of your peers.
■ Explore different job opportunity scenarios (location, practice type, scope of practice) and understand how this may impact compensation, benefits, and other work/life elements you care about.
■ Conduct informed negotiations of employment terms for you, your division, department, or practice.
■ Much more!
For a preview of the type of data that will be available to you, see the 2024 Q1 AGS Newsletter.
The current benchmark metrics do not capture the value of a geriatrician to a health system or the heterogeneity of modern-day geriatrics practices. They are informed by low-quality data based on a limited number of survey responses nationally. Your participation in the AGS/ADGAP Benchmarking Surveys is essential to building a rich updated data set that can be used to support geriatrics academic programs and AGS/ADGAP members. The more geriatrician members complete the surveys, the richer and more meaningful the data will be.
Surveys now available include the AGS/ADGAP general benchmarking survey, as well as the practice site-specific modular surveys for those who practice in acute care, ambulatory, home care, and long-term care settings (available upon completion of the general survey).
Survey Guide
The Survey Guide is a resource to help you prepare for, and complete, your survey. Review the survey questions and information requirements before you access the application and complete the survey online or use it as a worksheet to first complete the survey offline, and then transcribe your responses into the application.
Proxy Questions
When completing the survey, you will have the opportunity to designate a proxy to assist with provision of the clinical productivity data.
