Clinics representing more than half of Minnesota's family physicians participated in a statewide study on the practice of family medicine conducted by the Minnesota Academy of Family Physicians. The survey was designed to provide direction for individual physicians, administrators, and the Minnesota Academy of Family Physicians as an organization. The survey identified some concerns regarding access to care. In the central portion of the state, 71% of the full-time equivalent family physicians were in practices with Medicaid patient restrictions. In the most sparsely populated towns, 35% of the reporting family physicians who provided obstetrical care three years ago discontinued that service due to the cost or availability of professional liability coverage. Statewide in 1989, 57% of the family physician positions recruited for by the practices studies were unfilled at year's end, with 82% unfilled in the most sparsely populated areas.
代表明尼苏达州半数以上家庭医生的诊所参与了由明尼苏达家庭医生学会开展的一项关于家庭医疗实践的全州性研究。该调查旨在为个体医生、管理人员以及作为一个组织的明尼苏达家庭医生学会提供指导方向。该调查确定了一些关于医疗服务可及性的担忧。在该州中部地区，71%的全职等效家庭医生所在的诊所对医疗补助患者有限制。在人口最稀少的城镇，三年前提供产科护理的报告家庭医生中有35%由于职业责任保险的成本或可获得性而停止了该项服务。1989年在全州范围内，参与研究的诊所招聘的家庭医生职位在年底时有57%未填补，在人口最稀少的地区这一比例为82%。
