A response to the alarming observation that doctors are being trained in increasing number at a time when the number needed in the US is expected to decline with the spread of managed care. The Institute of Medicine has investigated the aggregate supply of physicians in the country, without considering such issues a specialty and geographic maldistribution. The study asks whether there are or will soon be too many doctors, what impact a surplus might have on health care and the efficient use of human resources, and what steps might be taken to deal with the problem.
