Do you think there is going to be a need for more doctors in the oncoming years? I know there is going to be a demand for nurses, but what about doctors?

as for specialties, i would think that part of the reason we're seeing fewer general practitioners is because med school is expensive. it'd be rough paying $250K in med school debt on a 90K/year family medicine doctor (perhaps less in a rural place). people have no choice but to go into more lucrative specialties.

I have a question that might seem silly. But, what are the requirements to be a 'general practitioner'....what type of residency? I never see residencies for just general practice...is it just an IM residency?
Someone enlighten me please.
