Primary Care Question...

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
depends by whom. not for National Health Scolarships. Some states do categorize ER as primary care for state support.
 
🙂 depends on the socio-economic status of your patients!

honestly, no. technically, ER isn't primary care. i understand that an ER physician cannot be designated as a pcp. practically, however, they may end up being a "primary care" doctor for people with no health insurance.. 🙂

Yup. I've heard ER docs say that 40-50% of their patients are not emergencies, but people who rely on the ER for primary care.
