San Francisco-based nonprofit Encore Physicians encourages retired physicians to return to treating patients and address the physician shortage in the Bay Area, according to an April 5 report from CBS News Bay Area.
The program provides an opportunity for retired physicians to work part-time at community clinics in the San Francisco and Sacramento, Calif., areas for a year. The program provides compensation for the physicians for one to two days a week for a year, according to its website.
Encore Physicians is aiming to address the growing physician shortage, which is expected to reach a nationwide shortage of 120,000 physicians by 2034, the report said.
