It already is a problem. An NP told me flat out that primary care docs will soon be "obsolete" and it was hard to disagree. Why should the local HMO hire an FP when they can get two NPs for the same price?
Same thing with our "D"PT friend here. He didn't want to spend the time and money on med school, he probably was not able to get into med school, but he wants to be a cool doctor like on TV anyway. And for a fraction of the salary of a real PM&R doc? the HMOs could not be happier.
