SUFU Membership Survey Highlights

posted: April 12, 2022

Last year, we sent out the first annual SUFU Membership Survey. The survey was sent to members who are practicing physicians.

The purpose of this survey is to gather, summarize, and provide credible data and benchmarks specific to SUFU members to aid in practice negotiations, planning, recruitment, and forecasting in the setting of today’s evolving practice management landscape. The other major purpose of the SUFU membership survey is to better assess the needs of the membership at large. The response rate for the 2021 survey was approximately 33% (174 responses).

We are excited to present to you some of the highlights of the survey results. Stay tuned for the full results, including productivity data, which will be available soon on the SUFU website.

We want to make sure that all the voices of our membership are heard. We are planning the 2022 SUFU Membership Survey, we want to hear from everyone, and will be sending out a call for ideas!
