Physician workforce: the special case of health centers and the National Health Service Corps

Am Fam Physician. 2005 Jul 15;72(2):235.

Abstract

Federally funded health centers and the National Health Service Corps (NHSC) depend on family physicians (FPs) and general practitioners (GPs) to meet the needs of millions of medically underserved people. Policy makers and workforce planners should consider how changes in the production of FPs would affect these programs.
