The American Medical Association (AMA), association of physicians both MDs and DOs and medical students, introduced a first-of-its-kind resource aimed at helping physicians and other health care providers improve patient access to care. The AMAs Health Workforce Mapper is an interactive tool that illustrates the geographic locations of the health care work force in each state, including health professional shortage areas, hospital locations, as well as other related workforce trends. The tool is designed to highlight areas where the number of health care professionals could be expanded to enhance patient access to timely, quality care close to home. In addition, the AMAs Health Workforce Mapper can help new physicians close the gap in patient access to care by giving residents and medical students access to important information that allows them to see, from state-to-state, where there are shortages in certain medical specialties.
