For one year, journalist Karen Brown set out to learn why more young doctors aren't choosing primary care. Her findings are now the subject of a new documentary, “The Path to Primary Care: Who Will Be The Next Generation of Frontline Doctors?” 

This hour, Karen joins us along with some primary care professionals to weigh in on the latest trends, and to tell us what the future of primary care looks like both here in the northeast and across America.

Join the conversation on Facebook and Twitter. 

This show originally aired on March 3, 2015.

John Dankosky and Chion Wolf contributed to this show. 

GUESTS:

  • Karen Brown - Reporter for New England Public Radio
  • Howard Andrew Selinger - Chair of Family Medicine at Quinnipiac University’s Frank H Netter, MD, School of Medicine
