Fewer doctors practice full-time in Wyo

Wyoming granted a record number of medical licences in 2009, but fewer newly licensed doctors are setting up full-time practices in the state, newly released figures show.

Of the 301 doctors who received licenses so far this year, only 18 percent reported working full-time in Wyoming, according to statistics from the state Board of Medicine. Industry experts say the figures reflect growth in telemedicine and the number of outside physicians who come to the state to fill gaps in coverage.
