Abstract
The first significant expansion of allopathic medical schools since the 1970s was anticipated to produce more physicians capable of addressing the nation's current and projected primary care shortages. However, our analysis of the early outputs of new allopathic medical schools suggests that these students were nearly 40% less likely to specialize in family medicine than existing schools.
