title: Models for the supply of pharmacists.
abstract: The BHPr (formerly Bureau of Health Professions) Supply Model for pharmacists is presented and analyzed. Recommendations are made for improvement of the supply model. Included are considerations of additional variables and improvement of tables of separation rates to more accurately reflect working patterns of male and female pharmacists. The supply model shares many features of supply models for other health professions such as nursing and medicine. The variables suggested for improvement of supply determinations parallel supply measures of other health professions also. The adoption of suggestions for improvement of the pharmacy supply model to other health professions' supply models is suggested.
