Alan, I think the graph at the bottom -- while not specifically showing only # primary care per capita, you can figure it out from the graph.NE, VT, MN, ND have the most.NV, MD, GA, NJ, MO, MS have the least. http://www.graham-center.org/x467.xml The U.S. Primary Care Physician Workforce: Minimal Growth 1980-1999 Growth in the primary care physician workforce (physicians per capita) in the United States has trailed the growth of the specialist physician population in recent years. This has occurred despite calls during the same period for increased production of primary care physicians and educational reforms focusing on primary care. =========================== Interesting... http://www.acponline.org/advocacy/events/state_of_healthcare/statehc06_1.pdf http://www.acponline.org/advocacy/where_we_stand/policy/primary_shortage.pdf HOW IS A SHORTAGE OF PRIMARY CARE PHYSICIANS AFFECTING THE QUALITY AND COST OF MEDICAL CARE?
