Unless We Act Now, America Will Face a Shortage of More than 90,000 Doctors in 10 Years. In a recent Physician Workforce News Release, the AAMC updated physician shortage projections by the Center for Workforce Studies that, beginning in 2015, are 50 percent worse than originally anticipated prior to health care reform. Tripp Umbach continues our work with leading academic medical centers and medical schools to develop strategies to expand or develop graduate medical education (GME) and understands the opportuniites and challenges a 15% increase in CMS funded GME positions would create.

Health systems are increasing efforts to explore expanding or developing Graduate Medical Education (GME). Tripp Umbach is at the forefront of this important aspect of health care reform by partnering with health systems and hospitals to explore the feasibility of expanding or developing GME in their organization. Our team of senior consultants has been developing financial impact models to quantify the return on investment of GME.
