No relief seen for Dallas' shortage of family docs

Garrett reports from the AHCJ conference in the Windy City:

Dallas and most areas of Texas are running pretty low on family doctors, pediatricians, internists and other front-line docs. Experts predict primary care doctors will be in huge demand as the federal health care overhaul law in coming years boosts how many people have insurance coverage.


Pay levels, though, aren't high enough to solve the problem any time soon, Irving-based doctor recruiter Kurt Mosley said this afternoon at the Association of Health Care Journalists meeting in Chicago.
