Primary care shortage in context
These numbers are truly frightening (emphasis mine):
U.S. medical schools would produce 1850 graduates who would become primary care doctors engaged in direct patient care.
Let’s put that number in context. In 2002, in a landmark Health Affairs article . . . estimated the U.S. would be 50,000 physicians short by 2010 and 200,000 by 2020.
