Abstract

It may be well understood that the increased demand of physicians in the US could be explained by the increase in population growth of the United States and that the largest growth will occur in the population of over 65 years which translates into an increase in consumption of health care resources. For example, patients aged 65 years had 7.6 physician ambulatory care visits a year versus 3.3 per year for those under 65 i.e. 130% more visits. Additionally, the use of more health resources is expected to increase because of the higher expectations of the American population. On the other hand, when scrutinizing the supply of physicians, it seems that around one third of physicians currently are over the age of 55 years and who are likely to retire by the year 2020. The employment of physicians and surgeons is projected to grow 14 percent from 2014 to 2024.
