| Admissions of students born in rural areas has declined by 47%, admissions of instate students down 17%, increase in MCAT score up dramatically in past 10 years, all these are contributing to fewer admitted into US medical schools who will choose family medicine. The slight increase in older medical students, who choose FP at twice the rate is a bright spot.
