摘要
In this Health Policy Report, the author discusses the supply of physicians in the United States and the growing consensus that there will be a shortage of physicians in the future. Medical and osteopathic schools are expanding, and the Association of American Medical Colleges believes graduate medical education (residency) positions also should be increased.
