The continuing undersupply of neurologists in the 1980s

Impressions based on data from three studies

Department of Neurology, Indiana University Medical Center, Indianapolis, IN. Accepted for publication March 16, 1982.

Current unmet needs for neurologists were estimated on the basis of a survey of the directors of all academic neurology programs in the United States and Puerto Rico, by a study of the state of Indiana, and a review of potential needs by the Veterans Administration Hospitals. The number of neurologists in 1990 were predicted from residency postions filled, the membership of the American Academy of Neurology, and the AMA Master File. From these analyses, the author concludes that a shortage of from 1,214 to 5,418 neurologists may exist in 1990.
