There are always a large number of jobs to be filled with not enough primary care physicians to fill them.  Specialists seem to outnumber family practice physicians and pediatricians 2:1, when the need is certainly more prevalent in the primary care clinics.  According to the American Academy of Family Physicians, “Since 1997, US Medical school graduates in family medicine and general internal medicine programs have fallen by nearly 50%.”  I think that this describes why the United States is not on the same level as other industrialized  countries around the world inthe healthcare industry.  Even if our current president creates a system to cover the nation’s 46 million uninsured, we will not have enough primary care physicians to see them.  So how are we ever going solve our country’s healthcare dilemma if we don’t fix both sides of the equation?
