Peer reviewedMick, Stephen S.; Worobey, Jacqueline Lowe – American Journal of Public Health, 1984
Despite predictions of a physician surplus by 1990, graduates of foreign medical schools (both aliens and U.S. citizens) continue to flow into the United States. Secondary analysis of 1980 data suggests that graduates of foreign schools may secure their presence within the American medical system by selecting specialties where shortages exist. (KH)

Peer reviewedMick, Stephen S.; Worobey, Jacqueline Lowe – Journal of Medical Education, 1984
The increase in the number of women and the decline in the number of foreign medical graduates in U.S. medicine were studied by comparing the specialty distributions of house officers in the 1973-74 and 1979-80 training years. Implications are discussed in the context that there is a physician surplus. (Author/MLW)
