title: Medical work force changes. Implications for general practice in Victoria.
abstract: Annual surveys have supported claims that the medical work force has been increasing too rapidly and that the intake of Australian and foreign graduates should be reduced. The increase has led to changes in distribution, choice of vocation, style and work content. Female doctors have increased their working hours, are poorly represented in some specialties and are less likely than men to practice outside the metropolitan area.
