摘要：Rural Americans suffer significant health disparities compared to their urban counterparts. One of the explanations for this is lack of adequate workforce. Rural communities in the State of Hawai'i are no exception. Although there is an adequate supply of providers in the state, the disproportionate distribution leaves rural areas lacking. The PowerPoint prepared provides a cross sectional picture of the number of practicing physicians, a description of their specialties, age distribution, and location of training by county based on data collected by the federal government. We hope that this will help highlight current and future physician needs for medical and non-medical professionals working to provide Hawaii's rural communities with adequate health care
