Physician Shortages to Worsen

• The passage of the Affordable Care Act (health care reform law), while setting in motion long-overdue efforts to insure an additional 32 million Americans, will increase the need for doctors and exacerbate a physician shortage driven by the rapid expansion of the number of Americans over the age of 65.

• The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services estimates that the physician supply will increase by only 7 percent in the next 10 years.

• The Census Bureau projects a 36 percent growth in the number of Americans over age 65, the very segment of the population with the greatest health care needs.

• By 2020 our nation will face a serious shortage of both primary care and specialist physicians to care for an aging and growing population.

• According to the AAMC’s Center for Workforce Studies, there will be 45,000 too few primary care physicians – and a shortage of 46,000 surgeons and medical specialists – in the next decade.

• Nearly one-third of all physicians will retire in the next decade just as more Americans need care.

• 1 in 3 active physicians is 55 or older.

Physician Shortages to Worsen

• The shortfall in the number of physicians will affect everyone, but the impact will be most severe on vulnerable and underserved populations. These groups include the approximately 20 percent of Americans who live in rural or inner-city locations designated as health professional shortage areas.

• 15 million patients who will become eligible for Medicare, 32 million younger Americans will become newly insured as a result of health care reform and thereby intensify the demand for physicians even further.

• Because educating and training physicians takes up to a decade, something needs to be done now.

How does this impact us?• Florida graduates fewer physicians than most States

(41st/46 states with Med schools).• Florida is 43rd among states in the number of resident

physicians.• Florida needs 3,000 new physicians per year. The State only

licenses 2,500 new physicians per year, of whom less than 500 have graduated from medical schools in the State of Florida.

• Only 15% of all Florida licensed physicians have been trained in the State of Florida.

• 35% of all physician practicing in Florida graduated from foreign medical schools.

• 64% of all physicians practicing in Florida are over 55 years of age and 25% are over 65 years of age. Florida ranks number one in the country in the proportion of older physicians.

• 8.8% of all physicians in Florida are Hispanic and 3% are Black, whereas 30% of the general population in Florida is comprised of minorities.

Currently there are 120 Colleges or Schools of Pharmacy in the United States compared to 170 Colleges or Schools of Medicine (allopathic and osteopathic).

Demand for trained pharmacy professionals has increased in past years due to the rapid growth of the healthcare and pharmaceutical industries, growing elderly population, and expectation of an increase in retirement from delayed retirements after the market crash.

As an example, an average annual number of colleges of pharmacy deans that retire are estimated to be about 3-5 per year. However, between 2013 and 2014 more than twenty deans have or have announced retirement.

Excellent potential for advancement and competitive salaries (entry level salaries in excess of $100,000) immediately after graduation.

At Larkin, we will focus on the development of graduates seeking advanced training given the already existing graduate medical education commitment of Larkin.

College of Pharmacy

College of Pharmacy A shortfall of as many as 157,000 pharmacists nationally is

predicted by 2020 according to the findings of a conference sponsored by the Pharmacy Manpower Project, Inc.

Pharmacy has always maintained a 100% job placement rate immediately following graduation and this did not change even throughout the recession.

The State of Florida currently has six colleges of pharmacy (COP), Larkin would be the seventh. The United States Census Bureau estimated that the Florida’s population had reached 19.5 million people in 2013. This represents a per capita rate of one COP per every 3.25 million people. The following table will represent that Florida is underserved with COPs.

College of Pharmacy

Florida is in need of more COPs especially with an aging population and the population of this State always increasing.

Additionally, in many states, students tend to stay in the state when they graduate or they leave for residencies and return. However, in Florida, about half of the students that matriculate are from other states, and will return to those states after graduation.

The number of qualified students that are applying to COPs has been consistent. In 2012 a total of 99,821 candidates applied to pharmacy schools in the US.

Over the last five years, between 13,000 – 15,000 students are accepted nationwide to COPs. Therefore, there are 6.7 – 7.8 student applications for every one student accepted to a COP. This has remained consistent over many years despite an increase in the number of pharmacy schools.

Larkin College of Pharmacy will have 700-1,000 applicants for the first class of students that will matriculate 100 into the program in August 2015.

An improving economy, full implementation of Protection and Affordable Care Act, aging of the nurse workforce, and aging of Florida’s population will increase the nursing shortage through 2025

Without continued production of new graduates, the nursing shortage will be more than 128,000 RN FTE positions in 2030

Loss of $ 226 million in state and local tax revenues from the projected RN FTE shortage through 2025 (assuming per capita tax burden remained unchanged)

A shortage of registered nurses will worsen in the United States in the next two decades

Florida will have the greatest increase in RN shortageSources:http://ajm.sagepub.com/content/27/3/241www.FLCenterForNursing.orghttp://ajm.sagepub.com/content/27/3/241

School of Nursing

The number of employed nurses is expected to increase from 2.74 million in 2010 to 3.45 million in 2020, representing a 26% increase

In addition projections explain the need for 495,500 replacements in the nursing workforce which represent a total of 1.2 million new jobs for registered nurses by 2020.

According to the U.S Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), there were 296,900 jobs were added to the healthcare sector in 2011

Jobs in the healthcare sector accounted for one out of every 5 new jobs created in 2012.

Hospitals, long-term care facilities, and other ambulatory care settings added 49,000 new jobs in February 2012, up from 43,300 new jobs created in January

It is expected that RNs will be recruited to fill many of these new positions since RNs comprise the largest segment of the healthcare sector

Nursing Employment Forecast

Academic Enhancement Program According to the AAMC Data Warehouse, there were 43,919

applicants to medical school in 2011 with only 19,230 matriculants. According to AAMC statistics, over 40% of medical students admitted

spend an interim year between undergraduate school and medical school.

There are many post-baccalaureate degrees, certificate programs and masters degree (MS) programs across the country indicating a healthy demand for post undergraduate education.

200 students in any given year from across the country will be enrolled in the program with over 70% relocating to the area.

Housing, dining and parental visitation will contribute to the local economy.

Research results will enhance applications for Public and Private Grants.

Research will lead to technology transfer and local “spin-off” businesses.

Biomedical Sciences

Employment of dentists is expected to grow by 21 percent from 2010 to 2020, faster than the average for all occupations.

Employment of dentists is not expected to keep pace with the increased demand for dental services. There are still areas of the country where patients have little access to dental care.

33 million Americans live in areas that are underserved by dental health professionals.

4.6 million children went without dental checkups in 2008 because their families could not afford them.

In 2006, almost two-thirds of retirees (62%) did not have adequate dental coverage.

The IOM committee concluded that around 9,600 additional dentists would be needed to meet the needs of underserved populations in the United States.

"We have the lowest ratio of dentists to population that we have had in 100 years," says Shelly Gehshan, who directs the Pew Children's Dental Campaign. "This is a serious problem that leaves 40 to 50 million people out of reach of a dentist at any given moment.“

College of Dentistry

Data from the ADA reveals that total predoctoral enrollment was at its highest level during the late 1970s through the early 1980s, with peak enrollment of 22,842 in the 1980-81 academic year.

In the last ten years, first-year predoctoral enrollment has only risen an average of 1.7% annually while the demand for dental services has risen dramatically since the 1980s.

Further increasing the demand for more dentists is the projection that beginning in 2014, as the baby-boomer dentists start to retire, the number of practicing dentists will decline dramatically while the U.S. population continues to increase.

Short-Term Economic Impact

In 2009, the office-based physician industry supported $1.4 trillion in total economic output, with each physician supporting an average of $2.2 million in output; 4 million jobs nationwide, with each office-based physician supporting 6.2 jobs, including his or her own; and $833 billion in wages and benefits, with each physician supporting $1.3 million in those areas. Even though this report only looked at the impact of Office-based primary care physicians it would be expected that other medical specialists will have a similar impact.

Office-based physicians added more to state economies than a number of other industries, including hospitals, nursing homes, home health services and even legal enterprises, according to the AMA report The State-Level Economic Impact of Office-Based Physicians (www.ama-assn.org).

In addition, the office-based physician industry generated $63 billion in total state and local tax revenues in 2009, with each individual office-based physician generating an average of nearly $100,000 in state and local tax revenues.

Long Term Economic Impact

In 2007, the AAFP's Robert Graham Center did a similar study that measured the economic impact of a single family physician and the cumulative effect of Family Physicians in each of the 50 states and the District of Columbia. The finished work, Economic Impact of Family Physicians, is a series of issues briefs -- one for each state -- that details information on the economic benefits family physicians provide and that includes a state map with federally designated primary care health professional shortage areas.

According to the Graham Center data, which are both conservative and nearly 5 years old, the average economic impact per family physician per year is approximately $1,000,000.

We will be graduating 150 new physicians per year, many of whom will likely stay in the area to train at Larkin, which increases the likelihood that they will decide to start their practice in Miami-Dade County.

Long Term Economic Impact
