Two years ago, the New Jersey Physician Workforce Task Force warned of a doctor shortage which would leave the state with 3,000 fewer doctors by 2020.

Handlin said the situation is worse than was reported, saying the state has a full-blown crisis on its hands with nearly 70 percent of newly-minted physicians electing to leave the state and establish practices elsewhere.
