"Notwithstanding the above, there is mounting evidence that there may be a shortage in specialists over the next decade. In fact, a federal advisory committee is reconsidering previous workforce recommendations that seek to limit the number of physicians in training. The Council on Graduate Medical Education, which in 1994 recommended a reduction in the number of post graduation education positions and a limit on the number of foreign medical graduates allowed to enter the U.S., is meeting in April to discuss recent reports that point to a growing shortage of specialists.

The aging of the population and the associated requirements for specialty care is thought to be the single largest reason for the specialist shortage. This trend has been exacerbated by managed care and its heavy focus on primary care. Over the last decade, trends in managed care medicine resulted in a reduction of residency slots in the specialties and an increase primary care physician slots"
