Understanding the Value of Geriatricians
AGS/ADGAP has partnered with Phairify to provide AGS/ADGAP geriatrician members exclusive access to specialty-specific data that can help you take control of your career. Being informed about your market value as a geriatrician will empower your personal and professional growth.
How It Works
The Physician Value Exchange: Career & Specialty Data Platform provides geriatricians insight into their value with high-quality, real-world data that captures the heterogeneity of modern-day geriatrics practices while making it easier to explore different job opportunity scenarios and understand how it impacts different work/life elements you care about.

Resources
The Survey Guide is a resource to help you prepare for, and complete, your survey. Review the survey questions and information requirements before you access the application and complete the survey online or use it as a worksheet to first complete the survey offline and then transcribe your responses into the application.
The Proxy Guide is an XLS spreadsheet detailing how you can designate a proxy to assist with provision of the clinical productivity data.
The Unlocking the Value of Geriatricians: Data Snapshot from AGS/ADGAP Benchmarking Survey webinar reviews how to access the updated 2025 survey, how to compare and understand the data for your purposes, and a snapshot of the data collected from 2024.
AGS/ADGAP Benchmarking Surveys FAQ
Participating AGS members power Phairify's information platform—the Physician Value Exchange—by completing the AGS/ADGAP Benchmarking Survey. The survey takes about 10-15 minutes to complete. It captures anonymous data on geriatric-specific assessment of your productivity, compensation, and other practice measures, such as salary, bonuses, benefits, call requirements, practice settings, and other factors.
AGS/ADGAP members who complete the survey can then access the Exchange any time on any device to filter aggregate specialty information to inform professional decision-making. Armed with this market intelligence, they will be able to benchmark their professional value by comparing compensation packages to others with similar years in practice, practice type, compensation plan, and in similar geographic areas. In addition, AGS geriatrician members can also build a personalized profile for jobs that match career ambitions identified by the survey answers provided. Our members will be able to use the platform and market intelligence to personalize the metrics for jobs they want to learn about (e.g., compensation, benefits, responsibilities). Participating members will have access to a dashboard to then view job match alerts or update their desired job requirements.
The platform is only as good as the data it receives, so the more members that participate, the more robust and meaningful the data will be.
Members of the American Geriatrics Society who are geriatricians are eligible to participate in the survey.
While the current survey is available only for AGS geriatrician members, we are considering expanding our efforts to include other geriatrics health professionals in the future.
The current benchmark metrics do not capture the value of geriatrics health professionals to a health system or the heterogeneity of modern-day geriatrics practices. They are informed by low-quality data based on a limited number of survey responses nationally. Your participation in the AGS/ADGAP Benchmarking Surveys is essential to building a rich updated dataset that can be used to support AGS/ADGAP members. The more members complete the surveys, the richer and more meaningful the data will be.
Once you complete the survey, you will have immediate and unlimited access to data that will enable you to understand how your current employment compares with your peers. You will be able to use the platform and market intelligence to personalize the metrics for jobs you want to learn about (e.g., compensation, benefits, responsibilities). You will also have access to a dashboard to then view job match alerts or update your desired job requirements.
The survey consists of a set of standard core questions about where you are in your career currently and where you want to be related to compensation, benefits, practice setting, workload and productivity, call requirements, etc., which represents your personalized career goals, or Ideal Career Opportunities (ICOs). Access the Survey Guide to preview the list of questions in the survey and information required.
When completing the survey, you will have the opportunity to designate a proxy to assist with provision of the clinical productivity data. Members have two choices for working with a designated administrator, or proxy to submit responsive data: (1) assign a designated proxy to provide requested data to the geriatrician in an XLS file, or (2) ask the designated proxy to activate the geriatrician’s Phairify account and upload data.
You can access the instructions and the data requested in the survey’s “proxy” fields here.
All data collected through the survey are anonymous. There will be no way for Phairify, AGS, or any other party to link any survey respondent with the data submitted. Phairify never collects your name, address, or employer/practice name and prospective employers have no way to contact a member directly. All collected data are stored separately from your email and other user credentials to further ensure any data you submit cannot be linked to you.
No. For survey information to meet our quality goals and be of value to our members, we need high survey response rates. Accordingly, we require AGS members to participate in the survey in order to access and analyze specialty data and take advantage of the platform’s career support tools. Fortunately, we have designed survey participation to be intuitive and require a short time commitment.
The 2025 AGS/ADGAP Benchmarking Survey should take between 10 to 15 minutes to complete.
Once a member has completed a survey, they will have immediate access to the Physician Value Exchange platform, where they can access specialty-specific aggregated data. As more and more AGS members participate, our data will be more robust, and members will be able to adjust their desired criteria in response to what they learn as well as to address evolving personal or professional goals.
Yes, but your participation after the first year effectively is a simple update of existing information. Your survey questionnaire will be pre-populated with your responses from the immediate past year so that you simply need to update the information and submit. The fewer changes in your productivity and compensation, the less time required to complete and gain access to the survey data.
Your security and privacy are a top priority. Phairify has rigorous authentication processes and encryption standards in place to protect all user-information stored in systems and communicated via the internet. Only authorized personnel can access your information, and databases are automatically backed up to prevent loss of data.
Phairify is a physician-founded and physician-led company delivering an anonymous, free, secure, physician-first marketplace. Phairify’s data collection and visualization application permits users to filter their specialty database to design cohorts of physician practices that are just like them. Phairify allows physicians to define what is important or unique about their practice to find the right comparison group. Current physician compensation market research either compares practices to all U.S. physicians or those in the same geographic region and such an analysis fails to yield accurate information because comparability is non-existent. Phairify helps to solve this problem.
