Item: Coeur d’Alene family medical residency starts in June/Scott Maben, SR

More Info: Primary care physicians, already in short supply, are expected to grow scarcer still from a wave of family doctor retirements in the next few years. But there’s renewed interest in family medicine among medical school graduates, and for the first time a group of them will do their graduate work in Coeur d’Alene. Kootenai Health will have six young doctors arrive in June for the inaugural class of its new Family Medicine Coeur d’Alene Residency program.

Question: Will your doctor be retiring soon?
