Nevada ranks 45th in the country for physicians per capita and 48th for primary care, but the deeper problem isn't headcount, it's fragmentation. In this episode, Dr. Kevin Halow draws on conversations across five Nevada hospitals and dozens of independent practices to trace how physicians gained autonomy but lost the informal referral networks, hallway consults, and peer support that once came built into hospital-based practice.

Covered in this episode:

• Why Nevada needs 2,300 more physicians to match the national average, and why all 17 counties carry a federal shortage designation
• The residency funding gap that trains Nevada's doctors, then loses them to other states
• Why only 42% of physicians remain in physician-owned private practice, down from 60% a decade ago
• Administrative burden as the leading driver of physician burnout, ahead of clinical workload
• Why 73% of physicians still feel stigma around seeking mental health support
• What connected infrastructure looks like when informal relationships stop scaling
