In the report — “Utah’s Physician Workforce, 2012” (pdf) — UMEC also identified general surgery, rheumatology, internal medicine and cardiology as other specialties appearing to be in severe need.

 

UMEC’s conclusions were based on a 2010 survey of all Utah licensed physicians with a focus on understanding the characteristics and shortfalls of the local workforce.
