National Primary Care Week Addresses Critical Shortage of Physicians in United States
American Medical Student Association, 10/20/09

National Primary Care Week (NPCW), a project of the American Medical Student Association (AMSA), highlights the significance of primary care and provides an interactive environment for discussing the importance of primary care in today’s health care system. The number of U.S. medical students opting for primary care careers has plummeted 52 percent over the past decade, according to the American Academy of Family Physicians. Fewer than 10 percent of the 2008 graduating class opted for a career in primary care. All evidence points to the central role of primary care practitioners in the provision of best care.
