Georgia Board for Physician Workforce
Executive Summary

The Georgia Board for Physician Workforce (GBPW) has been fortunate to be able to include its physician workforce survey with the Georgia Composite Medical Board (GCMB) survey as part of the renewal process since 1986. This 2010 data set marks the 24th year the GBPW has examined the supply and distribution of Georgia's physicians using data from license renewals. For the first time, this report examines the supply and distribution of Georgia's physician assistant workforce. The Board recognized a need to begin gathering data from physician assistants to better understand their role in providing care to Georgia's citizens.
Physician Summary: Between 2000 and 2010: The population in Georgia increased by 18.3%, whereas the physician population increased by 26.0% The increase for physicians in the five primary care/core specialties was 14.5%. The increase for specialist physicians was 36.7%

Between 2008 and 2010 Georgia's physician workforce experienced a gain in total rate of both primary care/core specialties (family medicine, internal medicine, pediatrics, OB/GYN, and general surgery), and specialists Of the primary care/core specialties, family medicine and internal medicine increased in rate per 100,000 population. Pediatrics, OB/GYN and general surgery decreased rate per 100,000 population The percentage of the workforce in specialized categories increased from 56.0% to 56.2%

2010 was the first year since physician workforce planning began that every county in Georgia had at least one physician who practiced primarily in that county. However:
Six counties had no family medicine physician 31 counties had no internal medicine physician 63 counties had no pediatrician 79 counties had no OB/GYN 66 counties had no general surgeon
Physician Assistant Summary: In 2011, there were 2,176 licensed physician assistants in Georgia 1,840 were practicing full time 78.7% were practicing in a Metropolitan Statistical Area 49 counties did not have a physician assistant that practiced primarily in that county.

29.7% of the physician assistant workforce worked in Primary Care. 71.4% of those physician assistants worked in a Metropolitan Statistical Area

Of those working in Primary Care/Core Specialties,

52.6% worked in Family Medicine

25.3% worked in Internal Medicine

7.0% worked in Pediatrics

8.5% worked in OB/GYN

6.6% worked in General Surgery

70.3 % of physician assistants worked in specialized categories, with the largest category being anesthesiology

Methods and Licensure Information

Physicians and physician assistants renew their Georgia license to practice medicine every two years through the GCMB. The GCMB licenses both Medical Doctors (MD) and Doctors of Osteopathy (DO). All physician and physician assistant licenses expire biennially at the end of the licensees' birth month.

The surveys were conducted as part of the online or paper renewal process, depending on the licensees' preference. The majority of physicians and physician assistants renewed online. Due to the fact that the surveys are part of the renewal process, data from new licensees was not included. Data analysis was completed on all surveys. Please note that all calculations are reflective of the number of respondents who answered each question. Licensees that indicated they were not working in Georgia or retired were also excluded from the data reported here.

Georgia Board for Physician Workforce
Definitions
Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA)-a statistical standard developed by the Federal Office of Management and Budget. Must contain either a place with a minimum population of 50,000 or a Census Bureau-defined urbanized area and a total population of at least 100,000. The 100,000 total requirement applies to the one or more counties which may comprise the metro area in question.
Source: US Census Bureau, http://www.census.gov/population/metro/
Physician and Physician Assistant Specialties-Physician and physician assistant specialties are self-determined. "Other" is a choice given if the physician or physician assistant does not feel as if the listed specialties apply to him or her.
Physicians for Rural Areas Assistance (PRAA)-Counties eligible for the Georgia Board for Physician Workforce's Scholarship and Loan Repayment Programs. Counties under 35,000 population are eligible, and the 2010 Census population determines the current eligibility.
Source: O.C.G.A.: 31-34 (1-9)
Primary Care/ Core Specialties-Specialties defined by the Georgia Board for Physician Workforce as: Family Medicine, Internal Medicine, Pediatrics, OB/GYN, General Surgery, and Emergency Medicine*.
Source: Rules and Regulations of the State of Georgia 195-6-.01 (8)
*Emergency Medicine was not defined as a Primary Care/Core Specialty by GBPW until FY 2013. Therefore, it is not recognized as such in this survey
Primary Care Service Area (PCSA)-Designation developed for the Georgia Board for Physician Workforce, and was determined by examining health care utilization patterns of the citizens of individual counties. Ninety-six (96) areas were designated by applying two criteria to a review of data in the Georgia Hospital Questionnaire: (1) A PCSA was designated if at least 30% of the patients received care in their county of residence or (2) If a county received less than 30% of its residents as patients, it was assigned to the county where the majority of its residents go for primary care.
Population-Population data used from 2010 Census Bureau and 2011 Census Bureau estimates.
Source: Governor's Office of Planning and Budget, http://opb.georgia.gov/census-data ; US Census Bureau, http://www.census.gov/2010census/popmap/ipmtext.php?fl=13
Secondary Care Service Area (SCSA)-Designation developed for the Georgia Board for Physician Workforce and based on the twelve (12) areas defined by the General Assembly. These areas are utilized as areas for secondary care specialties (ie. specialties not considered primary care/core). Regions were evaluated by variables such as socio-economic status, health status, and population over 65.
