Health reform, primary care, and graduate medical education.

摘要

In his article, Iglehart cited the Council on Graduate Medical Education's 20th report, "Advancing Primary Care." As chair of the Council on Graduate Medical Education, I would like to share the core recommendations of our report. We recommended that policies for physicians providing primary care should be implemented to raise the percentage of primary care physicians to at least 40% among all physicians, from the current level of 32%. To achieve the desired ratio of practicing primary care physicians, we recommend that the average incomes of these physicians must be at least 70% of the median income of all physicians.
