In the future, will physicians use 3D printers to create new tissues for patients? Here’s how bioprinting could affect primary care through treatment of chronic conditions, wounds, organ transplantation, and more.
Primary health care is currently affected by numerous challenges. For one, physician shortage is becoming a serious issue. It is estimated that there will be a shortage of 86,000 physicians in the United States by 2036. The rapidly aging population will further put a strain on health care resources.
