(1) According to the Council on Graduate Med-
ical Education, the Nation will face a shortage of 
about 85,000 physicians by 2020, due in part to the 
aging population. 
(2) The American Academy of Family Physi-
cians recommended in 2006 that to meet the need 
for primary care physicians in 2020, the United 
States would have to train 3,725 family physicians 
and 714 osteopathic physicians annually, with an 
overall goal of a 39 percent increase in family physi-
cians.

leges has called for increased enrollment at Liaison 
Committee on Medical Education (LCME) accred-
ited schools from 15 to 30 percent over the 2002 
levels by 2015. This increase would boost the num-
ber of graduates to about 20,000.

the expansion of medical education in a major way 
since the 1960s and 1970s.
