. . . two large California medical groups have stopped hiring internists apparently because they can’t do as much as FPs can and are more costly than NPs.
I wonder what the ACP is going to do about it.

Wring hands and gnash teeth.
Been trying to recruit two internists for months to a beautiful, rural Virginia location. Only received 1 CV. If California doesn’t want them, send them to me.
