This line graph depicts the number of physicians in Family/General
Practice, General Pediatrics, Internal Medicine, Obstetrics/Gynecology
and General Surgery in counties ranging in size from a population of
less than 2,500 to more than 3 million. There is a smaller concentration
of physicians in General Pediatrics, General Surgery and Obstetrics/Gynecology
in smaller counties (less than 10 per 100,000) than in larger countries
(approximately 15 to 20 per 100,000). Family/General Practice physicians
are abundant in most counties regardless of size at an average of 27
physicians per 100,000 people. Internal Medicine Physicians are most
abundant in counties with a population of 1 to 3 million (53 per 100,000).
However, only 47 Internal Medicine Physicians per 100,000 are available
in counties of more than 3 million. |
