“I think it’s pretty clear that as millions of Americans receive needed insurance coverage and go out seeking a regular source of primary care, they’re going to have difficulty finding one. But let’s face it, there are numerous drivers of our primary care shortage, including an inadequate number of health professionals practicing primary care as well as an enlarging and aging population. However, there might be a silver lining in all of this pain. If the American public’s frustration with this acutely exacerbated primary care shortage is loud enough, it just might motivate our various leaders to take specific steps to quickly rebuild our primary care workforce pipeline. That being said, our primary care system has been so devoid of investment for so many years, there will likely be a significant lag time for this new workforce to show up ready to work.” Andrew Morris-Singer, MD, President and Principal Founder, Primary Care Progress (PCP) | |||||

primary care physicians in over 5,000 sites receiving NCQA recognition
alone since 2008. |
