Primary care physicians are incompetent, need easier credentialing, study argues

The author argues that primary care physicians (PCPs) are broadly incompetent, failing to reliably diagnose diseases and perform basic physical examinations. This incompetence is attributed to an overly lenient credentialing process. The proposed solution is to significantly simplify and increase the ease of becoming a PCP, suggesting that a larger number of less rigorously trained physicians could improve overall healthcare outcomes.
