HCA 515 Topic 8 DQ 1:

What are the current incentives and disincentives faced by medical students in choosing to become primary care versus specialty-focused physicians? What is the impact of credentialing and regulation of health care professionals (both nationally and state-to-state)? How would you change the system to become more balanced; that is, how would you attract more people to become primary care physicians? When you answer this question, think about foreign medical students, their role and the possibility of them not returning to their home country.
