GI physician shortage predicted

For my blog-followers who are either currently applying to an Internal Medicine (IM) residency or who are already in their first year of an IM training program, there's an interesting article on a predicted GI physician shortage. The GI folks I have talked to seem to enjoy their work, feel they are mostly fairly remunerated but have worries about how technologies (like CT imaging) might infringe on their subspecialty. This article may diminish some of those worries about GI's future.
