Primary Care Physicians in Massachusetts

Posted on: Friday, January 8, 2010

According to Indeed.com, the pay scale for doctors in Massachusetts bombed in 2009 but recovered nicely to the point where 2010 is beginning with an increase over 2008’s pay scales. Family practice physicians in Massachusetts can expect a median salary of $95,000.

In 2009, the AAFP was dismayed to learn that Harvard Medical School had cut funding for its primary care program. The state is experiencing a severe shortage of primary care doctors and the lack of a strong primary care program at Harvard will only encourage new medical students to specialize.

The state has uses a universal health care model for insurance that relies on primary care physicians which has caused those physicians to be much more in demand since the legislation was put in place in 2006. It has been put forward in studies including this one that the state of primary care in Massachusetts will soon be the state of health care in the US considering the new health care reforms that are to be enacted. The linked study proposes community health centers as a solution to the primary care physician training problem. More than 42% of community health centers now provide primary care physician training, but do not receive funding for this training as university medical health centers do.
