DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Enormous changes are occurring in the organization and financing of the U.S. health care system--rapid changes that are being driven by market forces rather than by government initiatives. Although it is difficult to predict what they system will look like once it begins to stabilize, the changes will affect all components of the health care workforce, and the numbers and types of health care professionals that will be needed in the future--as well as the roles they will fill--will surely be much different than they were in the past. Despite numerous studies in the past 15 years showing that we might have more doctors than we need, the number of physicians in residency training continues to grow. At the same time, there is evidence that the demand for physician services will decrease as a result of growth of managed care. All of this is evidence that the demand for physician services will decrease as a result of growth of managed care. All of this is taking place at a time when, coincident with the result of failure of comprehensive health care reform, there is no coordinated and widely accepted physician workforce policy in the United States. The present study examines the following three questions: (1) Is there a physician policy in the United States? (2) If there a surplus, what is its likely impact on the cost, quality, and access to health care and on the efficient use of human resources? (3) What realistic steps can be taken to deal with a physician surplus? December

The AAMC engaged IHS Inc. to conduct a new study, incorporating the latest modeling methods and available data on trends and factors affecting the physician workforce. IHS is a publically traded company providing comprehensive economic modeling and forecasting services covering more than 170 industries in over 200 countries. The Life Sciences team at IHS conducts health economic and workforce studies for federal and state governments, trade and professional associations, for-profit Life Sciences companies, hospital systems, and non-profit organizations. The principal IHS consultant for this project, Tim Dall, helped develop the AAMC's workforce projections for the 2008 and 2010 reports. Working with the AAMC Center for Workforce Studies, IHS identified key trends likely to affect the supply and demand for health care services and physicians over the next decade and projected future national adequacy of physician supply through 2025 under multiple scenarios. While the modeling took place at the detailed specialty level, projections for individual specialties were aggregated into four broad categories for reporting: primary care, medical specialties, surgical specialties, and "other" specialties. To reflect future uncertainties in health policy and care use and delivery patterns, and to reflect the complexities inherent in modeling, projections are presented in ranges rather than a specific number." -- Executive Summary

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →The American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) predicts that by 2020, there will be an 81 percent increase in people living with or surviving cancer, but only a 14 percent increase in the number of practicing oncologists. As a result, there may be too few oncologists to meet the population's need for cancer care. To help address the challenges in overcoming this potential crisis of cancer care, the National Cancer Policy Forum of the Institute of Medicine (IOM) convened the workshop Ensuring Quality Cancer Care through the Oncology Workforce: Sustaining Care in the 21st Century in Washington, DC on October 20 and 21, 2008.
