Six New Medical Schools Boost The South
The Southern Regional Education Board says six new four year medical schools will bolster the South's medical workforce. The region has long relied on out-of-state graduates, but postwar growth in Florida, Kentucky, Miami and expansions in Mississippi North Carolina and West Virginia are increasing in-state training. In 1959 the South had about 54,000 non-federal doctors, roughly 101 per 100,000 people, below the national average of 129. The SREB notes Southern schools have trained 75 percent of the region's physicians, with Arkansas Georgia Louisiana South Carolina Tennessee and Texas most self reliant. The board calls science and tech progress to extend doctor capacity the likely solution to mounting demand.
