Abstract:
Although the number of active physicians increased by 21% between 2006 and 2018, and exceeded the 10% population growth, many areas in California face substantial shortages of primary care providers and specialists. California Physicians: A Portrait of Practice presents detailed information about the supply, distribution, and demographic characteristics of the state’s physicians and provides important context for understanding the challenges of caring for people during a public health emergency like COVID-19, as well as the complexity of caring for an aging and increasingly racially/ethnically diverse population.
