Primary care is supported by international medical graduates

SHOCKING NEWS: “Fewer American doctors are focusing on primary care, but the decline is being covered by physicians from other countries . . .

. . . Overall growth in the number of primary-care physicians “has been totally due to the number of international medical students training in America,” Sanders said. ‘We are increasingly dependent on international medical school graduates to meet our needs. Currently, one in four new physicians in the U.S. is an international medical graduate.'”

Well, not a surprise to regular readers here. How long can IMGs continue prop up our sagging primary care fortunes?

Dr. A also comments on the piece.
