Doctor supply and specialization studied in AMA report
The AMA notes rising medical school output from 1950 to 1959 with 87 schools now in operation and more planning, yet many rural areas still lack doctors. Despite more physicians per 100000 than a decade ago, specialization draws graduates away from general practice, leaving communities to seek care in cities.
