We’re staring down a shortfall of over 87,000 primary care doctors by 2037 — and it’s already starting to feel like a vanishing act.

In this “Did You Know” episode, I’m unpacking what’s really behind the disappearing primary care workforce. It’s not just retirements — it’s burnout, broken systems, and a business model that’s pushing physicians to the edge (and out the door).

• Hear the real stats behind the shortage — and why they matter now, not later.
• Understand how we got here and what needs to change to make primary care sustainable again.
• Learn the paths forward — from direct care models to better contracts — so physicians can thrive, not just survive.

Hit play to find out why primary care is in crisis — and how you can help fix it without burning out or selling out.
