title: [Pneumonology in Quebec 1991. A specialty with big challenges].
abstract: A brief review of the history of pneumology in Quebec is presented. The present situation is however such that while the incidence of respiratory diseases is steadily increasing, it seems that there will soon be a shortage of manpower in respiratory diseases specialists during the 90's. The Quebec Pneumologist Association faces quite a challenge for the coming years. It will have to solve this problem as soon as possible, with the collaboration of our universities, of the Federation of Quebec Medical Specialists, and with the Quebec Government. This is a must if the Quebec population is to receive the respiratory cares which it expects.
