Summary
This summary is machine-generated.The number of internal medicine residents increased, while subspecialty fellows remained constant. This shift led to a rise in internists training for general practice.
Area Of Science
- Medical Education
- Internal Medicine Training
- Physician Workforce Analysis
Background
- The National Study of Internal Medicine Manpower collected data on resident and fellow numbers.
- Internal medicine residency and subspecialty fellowship training are crucial for healthcare.
- Understanding trends in physician training is vital for workforce planning.
Purpose Of The Study
- To analyze trends in internal medicine residency and subspecialty fellowship training.
- To identify changes in the number of physicians pursuing general internal medicine versus subspecialties.
Main Methods
- Data collection on residents and fellows in internal medicine for 1977-1978 and 1978-1979.
- Analysis of annual percentage increases in first-year residents and subspecialty trainees.
- Comparison of training numbers over specified periods.
Main Results
- Total residents in training were 16,720 in 1978-1979.
- The growth rate of first-year residents slowed from 7.2% to 4.6% and 4.2%.
- The significant annual increase (10.6%) in subspecialty fellows from 1972-1977 ceased, with numbers remaining constant.
Conclusions
- The rapid expansion of subspecialty training has ended.
- Despite increased residents and constant fellows, more internists are training for general practice.
- This indicates a potential shift in internal medicine specialization focus.
