- Abstract
The article presents information on the U.S. Council on Graduate Medical Education's (COGME) 16th report to the Congress. It fails to account for increasing number of nurse practitioner and physician's assistant workforces combined with a physician workforce that is still growing much faster than the general U.S. population, and it fails to accommodate what physicians actually will do in redesigned health care. If COGME's goal was to suggest a minor correction in physician workforce production, the COGME seems to have missed an opportunity to take advantage of its denouncement to develop projections based on a vision of a physician workforce that could deliver better health care and better health outcomes for everyone with greater efficiency.
