Primary Care Physicians
Over the last few years, there has been an increasing shortage of primary care physicians. As older physicians retire, there are fewer young doctors to take their place, as recent grads have been more drawn to specialty areas rather than general practice. Primary care doctors include family practitioners, pediatricians, general internists, and obstetricians/gynecologists.

Hello, my name is Vanessa Hill. i have recently relocated to KY from WA state where I worked as an RHIT/coder/biller. The CPC certification is more accepted than the RHIT here in this state. i have been searching for work, but it has been hard. I love the billing/analyzing/revenue part of the job that I did in WA. But the problem I have been having is these jobs call for BA in nursing, accounting or finance in analysing or revenue cycle. Any suggestions?

Dear Sirs/Madams,
I have a Bachelore degree as hygienist-epidemiologist and Master degree in Public Health. Now I am working as project Coordinator in Tajikistan. But I would like to find a job in US, because I like USA. The high salary is not interested me. I like administrative and managerial work. I have one dependant - my 2,5 years old son. my husband is studying in US.
If there is something appropiate, please contact me: E-mail: nasrulloeva@yahoo.com
Thanks, Moh
