Abstract
An Agenda for the '80sThe landscape of health services has changed dramatically in the past 20 years. The 1960s saw the emergence of community medicine as a discipline. The 1970s produced the family-medicine and primary-care movements. Undergirding and stimulating these developments has been the enormous growth in aggregate educational capacity of the medical schools of the nation. The number of new physicians graduated annually is now more than double what it was in 1960. Given these new features, much of the current debate concerns the future. Are we producing too many physicians? What specialties will they choose? How will . . .Keywords
