Matching manpower with patient care needs: whose decision?
Unlimited and unplanned proliferation of health manpower education and training programs is producing increasingly specialized personnel, without concern for the costs their services generate or for the kinds of services that will be needed as more Americans gain access to care. Only more national planning to relate preparation and expectations of graduates to affordable service needs will prevent frustration, underutilization, and unemployment of all health manpower.
