The Impact of Millennial Nephrologists on the Group Practice Partnership Model

Many nephrology group practices of all sizes are facing an existential crisis driven by a confluence of factors. The first, and most notable, factor fueling this issue is the result of a significant decline in the number of physicians choosing to pursue a career in nephrology.

This declining interest in nephrology has been attributed to lower compensation (as compared against many other specialties), increasing student loan debt and lifestyle‑related considerations, among other factors.
