Access to health care is limited in part by maldistribution of physicians. Physicians agreeing to work in underserved areas can receive a financial incentive or a visa waiver that eases immigration restrictions. However, the overall landscape and scale of incentive programs and providers remains unelucidated. This article aggregates the reported output of state and federal programs and assesses their relative contributions to increasing the physician workforce in underserved areas. The estimates derived suggest that in 2017 the National Health Service Corps supported placement of around 2000 physicians, fully state-funded financial incentive programs about 1000, and visa waiver programs over 3500.

School of Social Work, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Chapel Hill, NC, United States.
Background: Professionals who provide implementation support in human service systems describe relationships as being critical to support evidence use; however, developing trusting relationships are not strongly featured in implementation science literature. The aims of this study were to (a) assess the feasibility and acceptability of a theory-driven training and coaching approach for building trusting relationships among members of an implementation team who were supporting the implementation of an evidence-informed program in a public child welfare system in the United States and (b) gauge the initial efficacy of the approach in terms of the development of trusting relationships and subsequent implementation outcomes.
Methods: Consistent with a convergent mixed-methods approach, we collected both quantitative and qualitative data to address our research questions.
