Solving primary care shortage.The solution is simple close all Medical colleges in USA and open more Nurse practitioner schools

  One study after another is being published showing that, Nurse practitioners do a better job than Physicians in taking care of patients.

Some observers argue that physicians are overqualified for some of today's primary care work, which can involve routine physical assessments and ongoing care rather than diagnosis and treatment of complex conditions.

In 2012, 18 states and the District of Columbia allowed nurse practitioners to diagnose and treat patients and prescribe medications without a physician's involvement, while 32 states required physician involvement to diagnose and treat or prescribe medications, or both .

First step make it mandatory for all the legislators who passed theses laws to obtain their care only from  Nurse practitioners.

Second step convert all the medical schools in theses states in to  Nurse practitioner schools.

Third step: Do a detailed study  and  amalgamate the NP training  with basic medical degree training to create a hybrid practitioner curriculum and provide openings for all takers who are able to pass minimum requirements.


Roughly 5,700 geographic areas containing 55 million residents as being Primary Care Health Professional Shortage Areas.
shift all the present  medical schools to these areas. and convert all the present  medical schools to the new hybrid course
