Primary care physicians include practicing physicians (M.D.'s) specializing in general practice medicine, family medicine, internal medicine, pediatrics, and obstetrics/gynecology. The measure represents the number of primary care physicians and the rate of primary care physicians per 100,000 population. Access to care requires not only financial coverage, but also, access to providers.
