Next time someone asks, "Is there a doctor in the house?" don't be surprised if no one comes forward -- especially if the question is asked in rural Georgia. While rural Georgia has more trouble wooing physicians, metro Atlanta suffers as well. Home to about 9,400 physicians, Atlanta has 87 primary care physicians for every 100,000 residents. The national average is 97. A recent HealthLeaders-InterStudy Market Overview determined that Atlanta has 190 total physicians per 100,000 residents. The national average is 218 per 100,000.
