Neurosurgical manpower: the physician's viewpoint.

This paper reports a national study of physicians in 24 medical and surgical specialties, and reveals the opinions of neurosurgeons and their professional colleagues with regard to the adequacy of the supply of neurosurgical manpower. Among neurosurgeons, 30.4% believe the supply to be excessive, 60.1% think it is about right, 7.5% believe that there is a shortage, and 2.0% have no opinion. Neurologists' opinions do not differ significantly from those of neurosurgeons, but physicians and surgeons in 22 other specialties are significantly less likely to regard the supply as excessive and are more likely to perceive a shortage. Primary care physicians, as a group, are most likely to perceive a shortage, and least likely to indicate an excess. Among the 24 specialties studied, 9.3% of physicians believe the supply of neurosurgeons to be excessive, 55.1% think it is about right, 22.9% believe that there is a shortage, and 12.8% have no opinion.
