Social Science & Medicine, 1984, vol. 18, issue 1, 83-85

Abstract: A methodology for projecting physician requirements in a geographical region is presented. The procedure incorporates variables defining physician workloads, rates of retirement and estimated population changes to determine the future needs for health care practitioners. A case study using data from a two-county region of northeastern Ohio is included to illustrate the applicability of the projection methodology.
