1. Family Medicine

Family medicine doctors are on the top of our ranking of 10 most in demand medical specialties in America. All three resources we consulted to create this list confirmed that primary care physicians are the most recruited doctors. There are around 111,000 family medicine doctors who cannot meet the need of the entire population. Like previously mentioned internal medicine, family medicine does not attract medical students with high paycheck. With an annual income of $207,000, these specialists are third lowest paid. Waiting time to see family medicine doctor for the first time is almost a month (29.3 days) which is a significant increase compared to 2014 when patients waited 19.5 days to schedule the first appointment.
