Though much research has been done surrounding the rural physician shortage nationally, no current data are available on the rural physician situation in Colorado. To address this information gap, the Colorado Health Institute is developing a rural Colorado physician survey to be fielded in January 2009. The purpose of the study will be to inform legislators, providers, communities, the Colorado Area Health Education Centers, the Colorado medical Society, COPIC Insurance, the Health Resources and Services Administration Region 8 Office and the Colorado University Denver School of Medicine about the unique challenges of recruiting and retaining physicians in rural Colorado.
