Doctors Change Our Lives

In the USA, about 2% of the adult population holds a doctorate degree. 1,109,460 are active physicians of which 55% are employed by a hospital or health system. The list of doctoral degrees that are not medical range from Education to engineering, to criminal justice to music and many more. All of these different PhD’s have affected our lives in so many positive ways. Our experts in this area of the site explore how doctors in all kinds of important fields, have helped shape not only the Baby Boomer Generation but all of the upcoming generations like Echo Boomers, Millennials, Generation X, Generation Z and Generation Alpha.

For Medical Doctors, the Association of American Medical Colleges is predicting there will be a shortage of 86,000 physicians by 2036. Physicians 65 and older are 20% of the clinical physician workforce and those between ages 55 and 64 are 22% of this workforce. Their Retirement will significantly decrease the physician supply in the coming years. Knowing that by 2036 the US population is projected to grow by 8.4%, our healthcare is facing a major challenge.
