Hello Dr. Farmer,

Thanks for doing this. My question: What do you think will be the most important single change we can make to address the physician shortage in the US that is projected to worsen in coming years as the population ages?

As an aside, I read Mountains Beyond Mountains as a kid. It has a big impact on me and influenced me a lot in my decision to become a physician. I start medical school next year. Thanks for doing what you do.

Hi Bill,

I am starting medical school in July and there is a lot of talk about the huge physician shortage in the USA. I know you do much admirable work in the medical arena across the globe but what do you think of the issues with medicine in our own country and do you have any plans to help bring medicine to under served communities in the USA?
