Hi! The current needs as well as the projections thru 2030 show a clear deficit in the physician workforce in the southern region with a consistent need in 'rural' America. If you're looking for specific workforce data by state go to: https://www.aamc.org/data/workforce/reports/484392/2017-state-physician-workforce-data-report.html
Here is a breakdown by specialty- remember, these are projections. :-)
Total shortages by 2030 vary by specialty grouping
and include:
A shortfall of between 14,800 and 49,300
primary care physicians.
A shortfall of between 33,800 and 72,700
nonprimary care physicians, including 20,700
to 30,500 surgical specialists.
