In Vermont, 5,001 of 18,119 active records, or 27.6%, carry a sole-proprietor flag. The flag is self-reported and is an imperfect proxy for private practice, so it should not be read as a direct count of independently practicing clinicians.

The largest listed specialties are Mental Health Counselor (1,539), Clinical Social Worker (1,290), Physical Therapist (933), Student in an Organized Health Care Education/Training Program (811), and Pharmacist (569).

What does the sole-proprietor percentage mean?
