TITLE: Physician Supply and Characteristics in New York
State: 1980-1990.
YEAR PUBLISHED: 1991
NOTE: 65 p.
ABSTRACT: This report, based on information gained from
multiple surveys of physicians conducted since 1980,
addresses a number of basic public policy questions
regarding physician manpower supply and distribution in the
state of New York. The report's primary focus is
longitudinal, attempting to identify patterns and trends
among New York State's physicians; it also presents
estimates of the number of active physicians as of
September 30, 1990. Also provided are comparisons of age
and geographic locations of respondents and nonrespondents,
as well as statistical analyses concerning physician
characteristics, where they received their medical
education, and the numbers entering the various types of
practice specialties. Among the findings obtained from the
statistics are the following: (1) the number of practicing
New York State physicians who graduated from foreign
medical schools equals the number who were trained in New
York medical schools; (2) since 1965, the number of
physicians practicing in New York State has increase
substantially; (3) it is estimated that there are 300
physicians per 100,000 New York residents; and (4) the
largest practice specialty of New York State physicians is
general internal medicine. Twenty-six figures, 5 maps, and
13 tables illustrate the data. Appendices include the
survey instrument, and tables providing additional
comparisons by race, gender, and location. (GLR)
