In the 1960s, predictions were made that the United States faced a "physician shortage."1,2 On the basis of these predictions, federal legislation subsidized the establishment of new medical schools and the expansion of those in existence. From 1968 to 1974, the number of medical school graduates rose from 7,973 to 11,613.3 Nevertheless, problems of availability of, and access to, health services remain. Mere increase in number of physicians is not the solution to the problem of health care delivery in the United States; in fact, there is concern that we now face an oversupply of physicians.4 The recently published Carnegie report recommends that only "one" new medical school be established.5
