The source adds the following: "Year-over-year starting salary fluctuations may sometimes result if AMN Healthcare conducted an unusually large number of searches for a given specialty in a market where physician compensation is either atypically low or high. Fluctuations also may occur if market conditions change in a given specialty. For example, the near 20% drop in average starting salaries for psychiatrists may be a result of the markets in which some of these search engagements were conducted and the decline may be a one-year aberration. The near 14% increase in starting salaries for dermatologists represents the second year starting salaries for dermatologists have increased significantly, and likely is the result of rapidly accelerating demand for this specialty."
