Proportional Erosion of the Primary Care Physician Workforce Has Continued Since 2010.

Andrew Bazemore, Elizabeth Wilkinson, Stephen Petterson, Larry A. Green

Abstract

We estimate that 217,208 primary care physicians provided direct patient care in the United States in 2018. This represents an even lower percentage (30%) of the total U.S. physician cohort than the 2010 Council on Graduate Medical Education's (COGME's) recommendation to increase primary care to 40% of the overall physician workforce.
