| Abstract: |
The article discusses the physician shortages in the United States, particularly in primary care and surgical specialties, and the projected increase in demand due to population growth and an aging population. It highlights legislative interventions in various states to create novel pathways for physicians, including bypassing traditional graduate medical education (GME) programs. The article emphasizes the need for specificity in these pathways to ensure safe and high-quality independent practice. It also addresses challenges, considerations, and potential next steps in reform efforts to address physician shortages effectively. [Extracted from the article] |
