From today’s WSJ: America’s physician shortage is nothing to sneeze at. For primary care alone, the country will be short more than 40,000 doctors by 2030. American Medical Association President Jesse Ehrenfeld calls it “an urgent crisis” as nearly 1 in 4 American doctors will hit retirement age by the end of the decade. The crisis will worsen as the population grows and ages.

The solution, so the article says, is to loosen the rules to allow more foreign-trained doctors to practice without having to go thru years of monitoring. Seeing as how most of the docs I see nowadays have names I couldn’t pronounce if I had to I’m wondering where the shortage is coming from and are foreign docs scrutinized too closely?
