New article and podcast feature ACP leadership discussing primary care physician shortage

William E. Fox, MD, FACP, Chair-elect of the ACP Board of Regents, addressed the issue of the shortage of primary care physicians in the U.S. in an article and podcast now available on the KevinMD website.

In "Why We All Need to Care About the Primary Care Physician Shortage," Dr. Fox writes, "We must do more to make sure that students and trainees see primary care as a sustainable and attractive career path. It is past time to act. The federal government and third-party payers must take bold action so that all of us will have access to the physicians we need, when we need them, for generations to come."
