6
144 MD schools and 30 DO schools• 80,000 MD students; 24,000 DO students
9,600 ACGME certified residency programs• 120,000 residents; 5,000 more in AOA certified programs
• 46.1% = women; 25.9% = IMGs; 10.5% = minorities
Society’s Changing Health Care Needs
Outcome Focused: Health care delivery, payment measured by quality, outcome metrics.• Volume or cost no longer drive payment.
7
Cost Conscious: Health care designed to – • Maximize each health care team member’s contribution.
• Members include multiple different health professionals.
Population Health Focused: Emphasis on improving, maintaining health, not just treating illness.• Workforce size, distribution, demographic & specialty composition all
matter.
• Organization, financing of care matter, too.

Primary Care Continues to Over Shadow Specialties in Match: 2015 Picture
This year, 27,293 residencies offered nationally. Potential primary care residencies = 46.3%.• Family medicine: 3,195
• Internal medicine: 6,770
• Pediatrics: 2,668
Total: 12,633 = potential primary care = 46.3% of all residencies offered
In contrast:*• Child neurology – 104 residencies offered = 0.38% of all offered
• Thoracic surgery – 35 residencies offered = 0.13% of all offered
• Dermatology – 22 residencies offered = 0.08% of all offeredSource: NRMP * = PGY-1 positions

Why Is the Supply of Slots on Match Day so Tight?
The Big “P” Politics of GME
Two Points of ContentionIs there a physician shortage?
• Many, including AAMC, believe nation faces serious shortage by 2025
• Not all agree – e.g., IOM committee
Should Medicare fund more residency slots?
• In 1997, Congress capped # of residents for which Medicare pays GME at 1996 #. Virtually no change in cap in 18 years. But med school grads up nearly 30%.
Result = bottleneck.
24
In 1997, Congress Capped # Residents Eligible for Medicare GME at 1996 LevelsNumber of applicants exceeds cap; big loss of $
25 Source: NRMP, Results and Data: 2014 Main Residency Match
The Big “P” Politics of GME: What Challenges Face the Physician Workforce
Projected shortages.• Significant shortages in primary & specialty care.
Growing health professionals workforces.• Rapid increases in NPs, PAs.
• Team-based delivery of care.
Political obstacles to lift Medicare GME cap.• $10 billion/10 years cost to add 3,000 resident slots/year.
• Some want to use GME $ for other purposes.

All Physicians: Continued Shortages in 2025
New Projections for 2025:46,100 – 90,400 Shortage

Primary Care: Cont’d. Shortages in 2025
New Projections for 2025:12,500 – 31,100 Shortage
31
New Projections for 2025: 28,200 – 63,700 Shortage
“Med/Surg Specialties:” Cont’d. Shortages
32
Why a Physician Shortage? Demand Is Growing Faster than Supply
• Many factors, but demographics = biggest
33
• Population = growing larger, older
Elderly have greater health care needs 46% projected growth in elderly; 5% for young Medicine keeps people alive but with more illnesses Next 20 years: 36 million people added to Medicare
• Even best prevention delays disease, does not eliminate it.
34
A Growing, Aging Population Matters
35
HHS/HRSA The Physician Workforce: Projections and Research into Current Issues Affecting Supply and Demand, December 2008 at http://bhpr.hrsa.gov/healthworkforce/reports/physwfissues.pdf
Physician utilization/100,000 people by age
36
Because of Growth/Aging: Supply Also Not Likely to Keep Pace with Demand
Number of physicians per capita = flat/decrease in next decade if we don’t train more.
37
# of hours /week worked makes big difference. Older physicians work longer hours than younger
“Millennials” – Will that continue?
Age of retirement also a big factor. 36% of doctors now = age 55+. Most will retire in the next decade. But will they retire sooner or later Even a year or 2 delay makes affects future supply.
Indicators of Physician Shortages
Longer waiting times for an appointment Both primary care and specialists Most vulnerable – low income, complex patients
38
Backlog of unfilled positions for doctors – e.g.: 19% of WY population lives in underserved area 31% of MS population
Classic examples: VA, Medicaid Long waiting times for veterans became big new MacPac reports difficulty getting specialist
appointments for Medicaid, CHIP recipients

Example: In July 2015, 67% of VA Physician Vacancies = Specialists

The Power of Advocacy: Your Advocacy
Where Do We Go from Here? AAMC Advocates a Four-Pronged Strategy
No one tactic is enough. A multi-pronged strategy is needed to avoid a physician shortage.
42
Advance health care delivery reform to achieve more cost-effective care. AMCs are leaders.
Champion accountability for GME – bipartisan bills.
Pass legislation to lift cap on number of residents for which Medicare will pay for GME – also bipartisan.
Strengthen federal investment in programs to address maldistribution, such as NHSC and Title VII.
We’re advocating for all of them. Please join us.

Grassroots Advocacy Is Essential
“Now more than ever the people are responsible for the character of their Congress. If that body be ignorant, reckless, and corrupt, it is because the people tolerate ignorance, recklessness, and corruption."
James Garfield, "A Century of Congress" published in Atlantic, July 1877
