handle is hein.gao/gaobaaxhi0001 and id is 1 raw text is: BY THE COMMi ROLLEi' GENERAL OF THE UNITED STATES 1IIIIIIIIIIII1I/III ,., Are Enough Physcian Of The R!ht Types Trained In The U Nit ed S tat es ? There appears to be some agreement within the med- ical profession regarding the need to tra.i aore primar-y care physicians in the United States. This view is no. based upon any particular study but rather on ob:ervatinns by people in the health care field. Opinions differ as to what constitutes a suffi- cient supply of specialists and whethe, too rrany of certain specialists are being trained. While total num- ber of practicing physicians has increased dramati- cally durinn the past decade and will c6ntinue to do so, questions still remain as to whether there are enough or too many. The Secretary of HEW should discuss with the Coor dinating Council on Medical Education the possibility of engaging in national studies of physician supply and requireme2nts, including physician extenders, under some mutually agreeable contractual arrange- ment. HEW's Graduate Medical Education National Advisory Committee should (1) play an active role in determining the scope of these studies and in moni- toring their progress and (2) review indepth the Coor- dinating Council's completed studies and provide the Secretary with its detailed comments and recom- mendations. - 0HRD-77-92 .Icouu - MAY 16,1 978
