And as the ratio decreases, the number of students choosing primary care increases.John E Delzell, Jr, MD, MSPHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14562125206811095929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7069345661164810824.post-11533995538061911672013-11-21T12:53:16.351-08:002013-11-21T12:53:16.351-08:00At the end of the road, most students,interns and ...At the end of the road, most students,interns and residents select a stimulating speciatly. PCP is stimulating, however PCPs are overworked and do not have sufficient time to evaluate, diagnose and treat their patients. Being required to see 40 or more patients per day will quickly extinguish any interest in Primary Care. Often the challenging cases must be referred to a specialist since the PCP does not haver adequate time to competently address difficult cases.Gary M.
