Get notified about new Primary Care Physician jobs in Phoenix, AZ.
This shortage is attributed to various factors including an aging population (both patients and doctors are getting old), a growing emphasis on specialized medicine which draws physicians away from primary care, and fewer medical graduates choosing primary care as a field.
Many of the healthcare facilities in Phoenix have state-of-the-art equipment, specialized medical knowledge, and cutting-edge treatments, making them excellent options for preventive and advanced medical treatments. In the Phoenix metropolitan area alone, there are 52 hospitals.
To ensure a steady supply of primary care doctors, California must find ways to encourage students to enter the field. One of the most dependable ways to do this is by expanding the number and scope of medical training programs across the state — especially in underserved areas.
Doctors say high overhead costs and their growing administrative workloads make running a small private practice impossible. Compared with other medical specialties, primary care physicians work long hours for lower pay.
There is a primary care physician shortage in the United States. This is one of the root causes of the problems. There aren't enough primary care doctors in the United States. One study reported that the percentage of physicians in primary care in the U.S. decreased to about 25%.
Where did all the doctors go? There are a number of factors at play here, but “the short answer is we don't have enough of them, because we're not training as many as we need,” says Micheal Dill, director of workforce studies at the AAMC.
Demographics — specifically, population growth and aging — continue to be the primary drivers for increasing the need for more doctors to meet the health care needs of tomorrow. By 2036, the U.S. population is projected to grow by 8.4%.
“It's a perfect storm of factors leading to people asking, 'Can I trust this system to take care of me? ' ” One of the biggest reasons for the frustrating waits is a shortage of doctors across the country—making it tougher to get an appointment and increasing the amount of time wasted in office waiting rooms.
