AN ANALYSIS OF THE EMERGING PHYSICIAN SHORTAGE IN THE UNITED STATES
Merritt, Hawkins & Associates, October 15, 2004
"Does the United States have too few physicians, too many, or the appropriate number? The answer to this question holds important implications for medical education in particular and for health care delivery as a whole. In this paper, leading medical staff consultants with The MHA Group examine current physician supply and demand trends, and conclude that the U.S. is in the midst of a pervasive and growing physician shortage that is impeding access to medical services and exacerbating challenges in physician recruitment."
