- Abstract
A further report from the cooperative manpower study of the University of Southern California American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists has identified characteristics of patients and their diagnoses and classified types of patient-physician encounters. Obstetrician-gynecologists care for women mainly between the ages of 20 and 44, deal two thirds of the time with only five diagnostic categories in the office and 10 in the hospital, and provide primary care in 78.2% of all patient encounters.
