The country at a crossroads with unmet health care needs. Demand is increasing across age groups, the population as a whole is aging, costs are increasing and physician shortages exist in a significant part of the nation. We see the biggest gaps in primary care and general practice – where a majority of patients seek care – all while we struggle to integrate new technology and efficiencies into the decades old system. Further, practicing physicians do not necessarily reflect the racial, ethnic and religious makeup of their patients. When looking for ways to improve our broken system, the way we educate the next generation of doctors, and what we prioritize for our medical school cohorts is a fundamental place to begin.
