Regarding “Physician shortage predictions 'overestimated': researchers”:
There is some relevant information here, but stating "the impact of diverting a fraction of patient appointments to nonphysician professionals or of addressing some of the demand through electronic communication channels, the predicted physician shortage essentially evaporates" is a bit of a reach.
Rural markets are and will continue to be affected by lack of primary-care physicians.
