This lists the total number of physicians by practice in Florida in 2021. 1300 neurologists for a large population. Many physicians are licensed in more than one state, or are traveling docs who cover short term for hospitals who have vacancies, vacations. Or illnesses. As someone mentioned the post COVID burn out is a real thing. Looking at the age demographic over 30% were 60 and over in 2021. I'm sure there are less now. Add in that it is a specialty that takes 4 years of residency where you earn $65k while accruing interest on the sometimes up to $500k student debt from the previous 8 years. There are also very limited training programs and more close every year because of less federal funding to training. We are definitely in for a major shift in Healthcare. Expect to be seen by a very inexperienced NP/PA for most appointments.
