title: [Considerations on the admission policy for the medical school of the university of Costa Rica].
abstract: A study conducted by the University of Costa Rica examined the ratio between the total national population and the number of physicians, as well as the variations that might occur in this ratio depending on population growth, annual number of graduates from the School, incorporation of foreign medical graduates, and deaths in the physician population. The purpose of the investigation was to give the school sufficient information to formulate admissions policy that would take into account the needs of national health programs and the demand for medical care services.
