Problem
A "family physician" solo practice is the image of the "country doctor." That is, a practice of one or few physicians that is owned by the physicians. Among younger physicians, very few are establishing a solo practice. What are the market forces within the US that are pushing younger and even established physicians away from the solo practice? Within the US, what impact did the pandemic have on the solo family physician practice?
What is the role of Community Health Centers (CHCs) for improving public health within the US? Where does the funding for these centers come from?
