Physician Supply During the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) Crisis: the Role of Hazard Pay	2020-06-10		.txt	text/plain	1275	66	41	7 As a result, hazard pay offered to medical students willing to risk exposure to COVID-19 now may reduce their debt burden and potentiate the creation of more primary care physicians, a dearth of whom has been a significant health policy concern. However, there are several ways in which hazard pay might be financed based on local considerations and institutional structures: (a) small compulsory contributions from physicians (perhaps exempting those required to take unpaid furloughs) at a given institution not caring for COVID-19 patients by choice or due to risk factors for bad outcomes if infected; (b) public funding, such as the Coronavirus Preparedness and Response Supplemental Appropriations Act of 2020; and (c) private foundations offering funding for COVID-19 response efforts. Hazard pay could of course be considered for all physicians risking their health to care for infected patients.	./cache/cord-348026-t1jkeu3d.txt	./txt/cord-348026-t1jkeu3d.txt
