Nevada Medical Profession Count
The number of active licensed medical doctors practicing in Nevada has risen to 4,628 in 2010--up 31.4% from 2001, while the population has increased 35.1% during the same period. Physician Assistants have increased 145% since 2001 as the profession has become more recognized.
Personal finances play a part in the demand for medical doctors. Increasing insurance premiums and tightening pocket books may cause people to delay or forgo doctor visits. As the new health care overhaul matures, it is uncertain how many doctors Nevada will need per capita.
