"Guest submission for Taxpayers Association of Oregon Foundation"
So much for Florida being over-saturated. I laughed once when a hospital system and PE group told me FL was saturated as they continued to expand there.
I've been gone for more than 15 years but there's been a crazy feud in Florida for generations between the trial bar and physicians. There were tons of PI lawyer/chiro/doctor scams and, at the time, pill mills.
I wonder how it is now...
And duct is Portland’s mayor
I have a hard time believing #2, Texas. It seems you can't go two blocks without seeing the office of a pain physician in Texas.
Yeah, there are a ton of pain docs in Texas for sure. We go to McKinney and Frisco for soccer, Arlington to catch a Rangers game. Pain docs, spine, and ortho everywhere.
I miss Frisco. Nice place...I could have started my career there...but alas...
Doesn't really apply to us. Almost all of these studies are referring mostly to primary care with a handful of specialists (usually obgyn and gen surgery) making up the bulk of the remainder.
Yeah, there might be a pain doc shortage in those states, but outside of the boonies, I'm not so sure.
yes, they are not talking about a minor subspecialty such as Pain.
they are saying that there are not enough doctors overall in those states and teh majority of doctors are primary care specialists.
its probably multifactorial - population growth, but also primary care docs are not wanting to move to these same states or are leaving, as is the case with ob/gyn in states that have passed anti-abortion laws.
i hate to remind you all but doctors with primary care specialties of IM, Pediatrics, Ob/gyn tend to be liberal (FM is apparently close to 50/50).
and before "oh you made this up", browse to educate.

Changes by State in Ob/Gyn Workforce Post-Dobbs
Ob/gyn workforce patterns in states where abortion access is either banned or restricted following the Dobbs decision have changed.

Maternity Care Providers and Trainees Are Leaving States with Abortion Restrictions, Further Widening Gaps in Care
Maternal care access may worsen as providers leave states with restrictive abortion laws. Learn how this impacts access to physicians and those in training.
I wonder which states would be unsaturated for pain docs.
It is surprising that the 5 most short-staffed states are red states. Would've figured that at least half the docs are conservative, at least on paper.

less than a quarter of all docs say they are conservative, and if i were a primary care physician, i would not want to work in a state where politics can negatively affect patient access to care...

If I were a patient who cared what my docs politics were, I would be an idiot.less than a quarter of all docs say they are conservative, and if i were a primary care physician, i would not want to work in a state where politics can negatively affect patient access to care...

I'm pretty conservative but moved from Florida to a very liberal state.
I love the people here, the weather, the culture.
I can't imagine living my life and career based on politics.

Did you move from Disney World to Disney Land
Yep.
And those states all have big rural areas which is where the shortages are. Those are also states that are growing in population pretty rapidly and it takes time to get enough doctors to keep up.
