 | | However, using 40 hours in direct patient care per week as the standard for a full-time equivalent (FTE) pediatrician (as used by the Health Resources and Services Administration) demonstrates that the average general pediatrician, male or female, is at least one FTE pediatrician. |
 | | Each survey was mailed to a random sample of 1,600 AAP members in the United States, with an average response rate of 69 percent. |
 | | Reported data are based on responses of 6,711 pediatricians who spent 75 percent or more of their time in general pediatrics, had finished their residency training, and practiced in a solo or two-physician practice, pediatric group, multispecialty group, non-profit health center, or other site that were not HMOs, medical schools or hospitals. |
