Professional and spatial mobility of osteopathic physicians.

E W Hassinger, L S Gill, D J Hobbs

    Medical Care
    |December 1, 1979
    PubMed
    Summary

    Osteopathic physicians showed greater location changes than medical doctors in rural Missouri. Over 14 years, their background characteristics converged, influenced by increasing practice opportunities.

    Area of Science:

    • Health Services Research
    • Rural Health
    • Physician Workforce Studies

    Background:

    • Rural areas face unique challenges in physician distribution.
    • Understanding physician migration patterns is crucial for healthcare access.
    • Historical differences existed between osteopathic (DO) and medical (MD) physicians' practice locations and characteristics.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze changes in the geographic distribution of DOs and MDs in rural Missouri over 14 years.
    • To investigate the convergence of background characteristics between DOs and MDs.
    • To explore the factors influencing physician practice site selection, particularly for DOs.

    Main Methods:

    • Longitudinal analysis of physician location data in a 20-county rural Missouri area.

    Related Experiment Videos

  • Comparative analysis of spatial mobility between DOs and MDs.
  • Examination of physician background characteristics over the study period.

    • Main Results:

    • Osteopathic physicians experienced greater losses and spatial mobility compared to medical doctors.
    • Despite mobility differences, background characteristics of DOs and MDs showed convergence over time.
    • Increased practice opportunities for DOs correlate with background factors influencing site selection.

    Conclusions:

    • The greater spatial mobility of DOs reflects the evolving professional landscape of osteopathic medicine.
    • As practice opportunities expand, traditional background factors gain importance in DOs' practice location choices.
    • These findings have implications for understanding the practice site decisions of foreign medical graduates and new health practitioners.
