Urologists and their surgical practice.
The work characteristics of urologists were studied as part of a national study of surgeon manpower. Urologists were found to work short hours relative to other surgical specialties, and their operative work load ranked sixth among the ten surgical specialties. The major conclusion was that the supply of urologists was greater than necessary to meet the need for urologic consultants.
