Trends in obstetric-gynecologic academic manpower--1983

Since 1980 medical school faculty growth has essentially ceased, in comparison to earlier substantial increases. Women are represented in full-time faculty positions in a larger proportion than among practicing obstetrician-gynecologists. Subspecialist numbers on faculties have increased, with a small decline in generalist obstetrician-gynecologists. Despite the current plateau, medical school departments project a 36% increase in faculty members during the next five years, and an even larger increase in faculty involved in research.
