I agree. As a retired physician who has worked in private practice and in academics, most of the primary care physicians in this area have training in either foreign programs or midlevel US programs. Many villagers are used to high quality primary care in Minnesota, Chicago, Boston, NY, Philadelphia, etc. We have a large number of well educated, sophisticated retirees who miss the good primary care they received "back home." Wouldn't it be great if we as villagers can get internists from USF, Mayo, or UF here, just as we have a branch of the Moffitt Cancer Center? Just a thought, what do others think?
