more than 70% of physiatrists are 45 years old or younger
workforce study concluded in 1994 indicates that if the 1994-95 level of residency capacity is maintained, the supply of physiatrists will continue to grow, roughly doubling over the next 20 years. Because managed care penetration will continue to grow as well, it is crucial for the profession to inform managed care organizations, the medical community and the public about the specialty's track record of high quality, cost effective care. If the level of residency capacity remains the same and physiatry can inform the market about the specialty's value and cost effectiveness, excess supply of physiatrists is not likely to emerge through 2015.
