SAN FRANCISCO — Retired doctors in the Bay Area are helping address an acute shortage of physicians by heading back into the office to see patients.

Their return to work is part of the Encore Physicians program by San Francisco-based non-profit CoGenerate, which aims to bring older and younger members of the community together to solve problems.

The program allows retired doctors to work part-time in Bay Area community clinics for a year.
