Doctors' Group Predicts Shortage of Family Physicians
The American Academy of Family Physicians is predicting a shortage of family physicians in Nevada, Arizona, Florida, Texas, and Idaho over the next fifteen years.
The number of medical school graduates entering family medicine, or general practice, has decreased by almost 50 percent over the past ten years. Every state will need more family physicians by 2020, according to the AAFP.
