Our country is facing a doctor shortage of nearly 124,000 physicians in just 2 years and the impact on patient access could be devastating. The problem is especially acute in economically disadvantaged areas, like California’s Inland Empire which is comprised of San Bernadino and Riverside Counties east of Los Angeles. The Inland Empire is also now the home of the California University of Science and Medicine, a unique institution built on a public private partnership. CUSM was created to promote health equity by training the next generation of caregivers in their own community by the Prime Healthcare Foundation. The school just graduated its very first class of doctors last month and Chip wanted to learn more about the school and the graduates. Joining Chip is Dr. Paul Lyons, President of CUSM and Dean of the school of Medicine.
Then at 18:51 hear our latest Making the Rounds from Paddi Juliano, the Nurse of the Year at Lakewood Ranch Medical Center – a Universal Health Services hospital in Florida.
