- Title
Health Manpower: The Problem and the National Scene.

- Abstract
This article examines the manpower problem in the health sector in the U.S. The demand for physician services is going to be increased between 22 to 26 percent in the 1970, due to many factors such as population growth, more children and older people who use more services, urbanization, regional migration, increased utilization by the poor, rising levels of education and income, and support from Medicare and Medicaid. The available numbers of physicians in this decade is going to be significantly less than what will be needed to meet this demand. Many medical schools add to the shortage by encouraging their graduates to stay in research and full-time hospital posts instead of helping to satisfy the public medical need for practitioners.
