If you don’t have a passion, the best hours and salary in the world won’t make up for it.” Dr. Fisher agrees the primary care and specialty gaps are largely rooted in the physician payment system. But as long as medicine continues to change, access to care will change with it, she says. “Specialization is a good thing because you want experts taking care of you. We’re going to continue to see increases in fellowship and, as a result, stronger physician leaders in a posi- tion to advocate for their patients in a more meaningful way.”
