The market

How many physical therapists work in Minnesota

5,554 physical therapists hold an active individual NPI with a practice address in Minnesota, 95.3 per 100,000 residents, and 256 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?
