The work characteristics of thoracic surgeons were studied as part of a national study of surgeon manpower. Thoracic surgeons were found to have the greatest operative work loads, longest workweeks, and equivalent median incomes compared with all other surgical specialties. The major conclusion that the number of thoracic surgeons was adequate concurs with the findings of the National Thoracic Surgery Manpower Study on number of practitioners.
作为一项关于外科医生人力的全国性研究的一部分,对胸外科医生的工作特点进行了研究。结果发现,与所有其他外科专科相比,胸外科医生的手术工作量最大,工作周最长,收入中位数相当。关于胸外科医生数量充足这一主要结论与《全国胸外科人力研究》中关于从业者数量的研究结果一致。
