title: Is there a surplus of obstetrician-gynecologists?
abstract: An excess of physicians ranging from 21,000 to 70,000 has been predicted for 1990, including a "surplus" of 10,450 obstetrician-gynecologists. Published supply figures have been overestimated. In 1990, the supply of and the demand for obstetrician-gynecologists should be essentially in balance. The classic law of supply and demand is beginning to operate in medical care.
