| For people of any age, the word ��쐁ancer��� has carried dire connotations for generations. Until recently, that ominous sense of cancer as a killer was literally true, at least for many forms of the disease. And just 10 years ago, there were few treatments apart from the crude and devastating ones, such as chemotherapy and radiation. |
| With nearly 80 million Baby Boomers approaching retirement age, America is facing a critical crisis. There simply aren萸� enough doctors to care for the aging population.
Currently, the U.S. produces about 25,000 doctors a year. To keep up with the demographic trends, we萸쟫 need between 3,000 and 10,000 more per year. Making matters worse is how long it takes to train a physician ?an entire decade ?which means that by the year 2020, the U.S. will face a shortage of as many as 200,000 doctors, according to a recent report in USA Today. |
