AMA Economic Impact Study

According to the AMA’s most recent Economic Impact Study, physicians create far more overall economic output than the legal services industry, nursing homes, higher education and home health care. The research found that physicians, nationally, are directly and indirectly responsible for a $2.3 trillion contribution to the nation’s economy and the support for nearly 12.6 million jobs. The study also provided a break-down of the data by state and you can visit PhysiciansEconomiImpact.org to view the state specific economic impact.
