Abstract:

A model explaining physician supply in the United States from 1953-to 1973 was postulated and estimated. Factors affecting the supply of foreign and domestic physicians were examined separately. Several aspects of medical school capacity and physicians income were also developed, and recent trends in medical education and the training and licensing of physicians were examined. A model for examining the selection of medical specialties was proposed.
