Trends in Physician Location in Rural Towns in the U.S., 1980-95
This project is being conducted under subcontract to the Sheps Center for Health Services Research of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Funded under the Generalist Provider Research Initiative of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, this study not only tracks changes in physician location at the community level, but seeks to measure the long-term influence of participation in a government- or foundation-supported physician recruitment and retention program. The Center has developed a complete profile of rural communities, comparing the characteristics of towns participating in a program and identifying nonparticipants that are similar in other respects. UNC has geocoded AMA physician Masterfile data. The policy focus of the project relates to evaluating the long-term impact of significant state and federal efforts to address the physician distribution problem.
