The postgraduate education of physicians has been shaped by various forces other than the need to train appropriate numbers of physicians in specialties. The pivotal role of internal medicine in the physician work force and health system of the United States, as well as the complexity of internal medicine, makes this field an important one for study and inference.
The authors of this book have drawn on 17 years of demographic results from the valuable National Study of Internal Medicine Manpower (NaSIMM), additional survey information, the published literature, and interviews with prominent academicians. Beginning with historical, social, and economic influences, they cover general internal medicine, the subspecialties, geriatrics, and critical care, and, finally, current educational and policy challenges.
