Earlier this year, the Association of American Medical Colleges released it's 2020 report on the projected physician shortage in the United States. In its findings, the AAMC projects a Total Shortage of between 54,100 and 139,000 physicians by 2033. 

According to AAMC, This is due to factors such as:

• Demographics — specifically, population growth and aging
• A large portion of the physician workforce nearing traditional retirement age
