The market

How many physical therapists work in Alaska

859 physical therapists hold an active individual NPI with a practice address in Alaska, 116.5 per 100,000 residents, and 29 new ones enrolled in the last twelve months. A high wage with few clinicians per capita usually means employers are competing for people; a low one in a crowded market means the opposite.

Licensed in another state?
