Most of the funding for programs under title VII of the Public Health Service Act goes toward primary care med. and dentistry training and increasing med. student diversity. Health care marketplace signals suggest an undervaluing of primary care med., creating a concern about the future supply of primary care professionals -- physicians, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, and dentists. This report focuses on: (1) recent supply trends for primary care professionals, incl. info. on training and demographic characteristics; (2) projections of future supply for primary care professionals, incl. the factors underlying these projections; and (3) the influence of the health care system¿s financing mechanisms on the valuation of primary care services.
