It’s a scarcity that affects us all.

We’ve all experienced it— either ourselves or through a loved one. The days-long wait for a bed in the hospital. The weeks-long wait to see a primary care doctor. The months-long wait for that specialist appointment.

It’s agonizing, but unsurprising, given the shortage of healthcare providers. Which will get worse.

In the feature story for the latest edition of “Union,” two respected alumni physicians discuss what’s behind this shortage, how we might address it and the struggle they and their patients face every day.
