9 The Effects of Expanding Primary Care Access for the Uninsured: Implications for Health Workforce under Health Reform Academic Medicine, Vol. 88, No. 12/ December 2013 Meeting the workforce demands of the newly insured under new coverage programs may require new processes of care, realignment of patient and providers, changes in the roles of physicians and other providers, and modifications to how health care providers are trained and care is led. Older students, female students, and students from minority backgrounds are more likely to enter PC and / or to practice in underserved areas Students with rural backgrounds are more likely to practice in rural areas
10 Challenges and Opportunities in Building a Sustainable Rural Primary Care Workforce in Alignment with the Affordable Care Act Academic Medicine, Vol. 88, No. 12/ December 2013 With expanded health care access for patients, primary care physicians, PA s and NP s will be in even greater demand than in the past.
11 HRSA: Projected Demand for Primary Care Physicians Total primary care physician demand (FTE) ,500 a 241,200 General b 164, ,300 Pediatrics 44,800 49,600 Geriatrics 3,300 4,300 Primary care physician supply 205, ,800 Supply and demand (7,500) (20,400) a National demand projections presented in this report assume that in 2010 the national supply of primary care physicians was adequate except for the approximately 7,500 FTEs needed to de-designate the primary care HPSAs. b This category includes general and family practice, and general internal medicine.

13 How many Primary Care providers will we need? To cover CHC increase Need 88 new PA / NP Need 168 new Primary Care Physicians To cover all 1,335,787 Need 351 new PA/NP Need 676 new Primary Care Physicians Access Transformed -Building a Primary care Workforce for the 21st Century; NACHC, Robert Graham Center, George Washington University School, 2010

17 Quick Scan of Key Measures Medical Student Debt and Primary Care Income

19 Training Challenges: Community Based Training Sites to support education MEDICAL STUDENTS: Each medical student has approximately 7 required core clerkship rotations in their third year. (Family Medicine, Internal Medicine, Pediatrics, Emergency Medicine, OB/GYN, Psychiatry, and General Surgery) Each rotation lasts 4-6 weeks on average. Approximately 40% of these required clerkship rotations occur in community based settings with noncompensated volunteer faculty; In 2012, there were approximately rd year Georgia Medical Students at our five schools 594 x 7 required core clerkships = 4,158 rotations; 4,158 x 40% in community settings = 1,663 rotations in uncompensated community sites In 2020 it is estimated that Georgia will have rd year medical students needing +/-3,212 off campus community based training with a CBF member.
20 Solutions: Provide tax credits for primary care community based faculty precepting 3 rd and 4 th year Georgia medical students. SB 391 was passed creating the first community based faculty tax deduction in the country. While not a tax credit, it did create the entry into the revenue system that could allow us to expand the deduction or convert to a credit. Off-shore and out-of-state medical schools are using Georgia CBF and paying them +/-$1500 per rotation. Rather than enter into a bidding war with these other players, a tax credit could provide a powerful incentive to Georgia CBF to only take Georgia medical, Physician Assistant, and Nurse Practitioner students.
21 Driving forces against PC choices by medical students 1. Primary Care physicians continue to make approximately 50% of what a specialist makes even though their debt load is the same. 2. The interest accrued from Government student loans generated $66 billion between (recently released report from the GAO, 2014) 3. Current medical student loans are provided with interest rates of approximately 6.8%- 7.9%. 4. The average medical student debt is $170,000; according to the AAMC a doctor owing $175,000 at graduation can end up repaying more than $300,000 once interest is factored in.
22 National Medical Student Debt (NEJM, 2008) * Estimated at $145,000 for public and $180,000 for private medical school graduates * Total medical student debt estimated at $2 billion per year * The federal cash for clunkers program cost $2 billion per month * If medical school tuition was made free, it would cost approximately $2.5 billion per year ( Bach and Kocher, New York Times article, 5/28/11
23 Can Medical Students Afford to Choose Primary Care? (Academic Medicine, January 2013) Graduates pursuing primary care with higher debt levels ($250,000-$300,000) need to consider additional strategies to support repayment use of federal loan forgiveness
24 DEBT DISCOURAGES PRIMARY CARE GME Average debt $145,000 public med school and $180,000 private in 2008; total debt of all medical students $2 billion; NEJM Dec. 18, Students entering now will graduate over $250,000 in debt. In Georgia, tuition increases in last 5 years: Emory $34,205 to $42, % MCG $10,772 to $21, % Mercer $27,876 to $39, % Morehouse $22,500 to $29, % PCOM $38,100

28 Growing Imbalance of Med Ed System UME expansion is occurring at nearly double the rate of GME Source: Graduate Medical Education Data Resource Book; ACGME,2010 Bottom Line: The lack of GME positions is forcing students out of state to complete training, decreasing the likelihood that they will practice in Georgia Georgia ranks 39th in total residents per capita GA rate is 20.8/100,000; National rate is 35.7/100,000 Per capita growth in GME capacity has been minor in last 10 years Georgia needs 1,450 more positions to match the US average (or 315 to meet SE average)

38 SO WHAT DO WE NEED TO DO? CONFRONTING GEORGIA S HEALTH WORKFORCE SHORTAGES
39 STRATEGIES AND OPPORTUNITIES Remove or adjust the GME caps imposed by the Balanced Budget Act Immediately open new GME slots in areas of population growth Increase federal and state loan repayment programs for PC residents and graduates Increase # of PC residency slots Address payment differentials immediately Implement rural / primary care admissions tracks and curriculum at our medical schools
40 Increase the number of GME Loan Forgiveness Awards AND the amount of each award, as administered by the Georgia Board for Physician Workforce. STATUS: The GBPW budget was increased to provide 10 additional GME Loan Forgiveness Awards at the $20,000/year level. While the awards were not increased to the $30,000 level requested, the new funds do provide for an increase from 16 to 26 awards.
41 Support the Board of Regents request for $3,225,000 in new funds to support creation of new residency slots in Georgia STATUS: The Conference Committee elected to provide $2,000,000 for this initiative in FY 2015.
42 Support the Georgia Board for Physician Workforce proposal to increase primary care residency capitation funds by $3,489,440 for new and expansion positions in the FY 15 budget STATUS: Increase all Georgia Board for Physician Workforce capitation residency grants by $333 in state funds ($498,168); most of these will qualify for federal match.
43 Revising the powers of the GBPW as it relates to medical student scholarships STATUS: HB 998 passed which revises the powers of the Georgia Board for Physician Workforce as it relates to medical student scholarships. This provides expanded latitude for the GBPW to establish population and specialty rules based on the needs of the state without seeking legislative changes.
44 Two topics that have arisen this year are hosting mini-summits for the following topics: Incorporating Nurse Practitioners and Physician Assistants into our deliberations- how can we partner with these groups to insure that these important primary care disciplines are also supported? Educating and Motivating our Congressional Delegation to become more active and proactive in seeking federal solutions to the challenges facing the primary care workforce, to include GME slot distribution, federal funding of GME, and primary care payment differentials.
