San Joaquin Valley doctor shortage persists as new medical schools remain years away
Original: California’s San Joaquin Valley needs more doctors. New medical schools are years away
California's San Joaquin Valley continues to face a serious shortage of physicians, and relief is not coming soon. While efforts to establish new medical schools in the region are underway, CalMatters reports that these programs are still years away from producing doctors, leaving one of the state's most underserved areas without a near-term fix for its access-to-care problems.
Why now: The region's chronic physician shortage remains unresolved and new medical training programs will take years to make a difference.
