They use practice organization data provided by family physicians who took the American Board of Family Medicine’s recertification examination in 1993, 1998, 2003, 2008, and 2013 to track the proportion of family physicians in solo practice. The reported percentage was 13.9% in 1993, stayed approximately 16% from 1998 to 2008, and then decreased significantly to 11.0% in 2013 (P < .01).
