Access to care sets the baseline for all healthcare, and the impact of the shortage is affecting historically marginalized and under-resourced populations disproportionately. Patients living in rural areas, for example, are more likely to struggle to access their clinician than a patient living in an urban or suburban area, per [Patient Engagement](https://patientengagementhit.com/news/top-challenges-impacting-patient-access-to-healthcare#:~:text=Patients%20living%20in%20rural%20areas,an%20urban%20or%20suburban%20area.&text=As%20of%202020%2C%20about%2057,rural%20area%2C%20according%20to%20Statista.).
