General Practitioners in US Medical Practice Compared With Family Physicians

This article will not age well as the doctor shortage in this country becomes more pronounced. It highlights a complete lack of foresight amongst the authors and lack of acknowledgement that specialty training spots are too increasingly difficult to come by, so logically an intelligent and well trained GP, after 1-2 years of preliminary residency spots, will in the future have no choice but to become a GP if they want to stay in medicine. Family medicine though, I understand, must struggle to continue to justify its "specialty" status, which is all this article serves to attempt to prove. Not in a scientifically relevant way, however.
