The stated purpose of the study was to determine whether physicians’ self-identification as “religious” was associated with their practice among what the study term the “underserved”, equating that term with “the poor and marginalized.’ Although the study also found that religious physicians were more likely to view their occupation as a calling, this view did not translate into a higher rate of service to the underserved. Underserved in regard to health services refers to populations that are disadvantaged because of inability to pay, limited access to care, and limited access to comprehensive health care.
