Title: Balancing Supply and Demand for Physicians by 2030
Introduced by: Martha Gray, MD, for the Washtenaw County Medical Society
Whereas, current demographics predict growth of an aging population of people over age 65 by 55 percent, and
Whereas, projected shortfalls in primary care physicians ranges between 7,300 and 43,000 by 2030, and
Whereas, if current underserved populations utilize health care at the same rate as other patient populations, even higher demand is projected for primary care physicians, and
Whereas, current proportion of internal medicine residents completing training and going into primary care practice has fallen below 10 percent, and
Whereas, lifestyle, medical student debt, complex patient care demands, silos of care, electronic health record overload, and burnout all work against primary care physician recruitment; therefore be it
RESOLVED: That MSMS take action on all fronts to pursue and implement remedies that will rebalance the supply and demand equation for primary care physicians by 2030; and be it further
RESOLVED: That the Michigan Delegation to the American Medical Association (AMA) ask our AMA to take action on all fronts to pursue and implement remedies that will rebalance the supply and demand equation for primary care physicians by 2030.
