Question

DO YOU AGREE OR DISAGREE AND WHY?

The issue of physician geographic maldistribution and imbalance is a growing problem with a projected need of 46,100 to 90,400 physicians by 2025 (Shi, 88). The problem is multi-faceted, yet this discussion acknowledges physicians gravitated towards specialization (62%) instead of primary care (38%) according to the National Center for Health Statistics in 2015. Industrialized nations typically see at least half are generalists. Higher pay, better work hours, and prestige are believed to have lead to this imbalance. Metropolitan and suburban areas are better served than rural and inner-city populations that are thought of as the so called underserved populations (Ibid, 90).
