Abstract/OtherAbstract:
There are not enough practicing physicians in Maryland. And the decreasing numbers will only get worse in the next 5-10 years. The specialties most affected are family medicine, emergency medicine, and pediatrics, but most other specialties are also affected. A large percentage of physicians are age 55 and older and will be retiring in the next few years. Incoming physicians and residents staying in Maryland will not be sufficient to maintain adequate numbers of doctors for the population.
