Jared Fields+FollowDoctor Shortage Is Getting RealNearly 2 out of 3 doctors say there just aren’t enough qualified physicians to fill open jobs in their area, and it’s only getting worse. Burnout, practice mergers, and rising costs are making it tough for clinics to keep up. Hospitals are snatching up young specialists with big salaries, but primary care is especially hurting. While nurse and PA applicants are up, most doctors aren’t optimistic about things improving soon. Patient wait times could get even longer! #JobCareer #DoctorShortage #HealthcareCrisis00Share
jenna64+FollowMed School in 3 Years?! Here’s the ScoopImagine shaving a whole year off med school and jumping into real doctor life sooner! That’s what UMass Chan and 32 other schools are doing with their accelerated MD programs. Not only do students save a year’s worth of crazy tuition, but they also get to help tackle the looming doctor shortage way faster. Plus, a lot of these grads end up working in underserved areas. Would you trust a doc who finished in 3 years? #Education #MedSchool #DoctorShortage10Share
Rebecca Cowan+FollowWhy Aren’t We Training Enough Docs?Match Day is huge for med students, but here’s the wild part: our health care training isn’t keeping up with what America actually needs. The U.S. is getting older fast, but we’re not training enough geriatricians or primary care docs. Tons of residency spots go unfilled, and the shortage is only getting worse—especially in rural areas. Tech like AI and telehealth help, but they can’t replace real doctors. If we don’t fix this pipeline, we’re headed for a health care crisis. #HealthcareCrisis #DoctorShortage #MatchDay #MedicalTraining #AgingAmerica #Health11Share
