1977 National survey of support in space and dollars for departments of obstetrics and gynecology from their medical schools.
A questionnaire was sent to all chairpersons in obstetrics and gynecology departments in United States Medical Schools in the fall of 1977 seeking information on the school's support of that department for the year 1977 in terms of space and dollar commitments. A total of 113 schools were contacted; 106 responded (93.8%) and the data were tabulated. There were no significant differences between the private and state school resources. The average space commitment was 9,277 +/- SEM 709 square feet and the average school budget was 441,023 +/- SEM 24,265 dollars/year. These data were adjusted for class size and provide the first data base for assessing the adequacy of a medical school's commitment to a department of obstetrics and gynecology.
