Who offers the best working conditions, pay, and growth opportunities?
I’d shortlist academic medical centers and the VA for predictable schedules, strong benefits, and growth, with the caveat that private derm/ortho often pay more but come with RVU pressure. Use the AAPA Salary Report to filter by employer type and region and look for protected admin time and CME funding: Research - AAPA. Best employer is like the best taco — depends on your salsa; what specialty and location are you in, @OP?
