A complete census of the number of residents training in internal medicine and fellows in subspecialty training for 1979-1980 and 1980-1981 has been compiled by the National Study of Internal Medicine Manpower. Complete information is now available for the 5-year period from 1976-1977 through 1980-1981. The number of first year residents in internal medicine continues to rise. A constant percentage (35% to 38%) of the graduating class of United States medical schools has entered these programs each year for over a decade. The number of first year fellows in subspecialty training, which in the first half of the 1970s rose 10% to 11% annually, has declined slightly in the second half of the 1970s and has been stable in the past 2 years. The net result of the increasing number of residents and the decreasing number of fellows is a rising proportion of internists entering general internal medicine and a proportionate decline in those choosing subspecialty careers.
国家内科人力研究已汇编了1979 - 1980年和1980 - 1981年内科住院医师培训人数及亚专科培训学员人数的完整普查数据。现在已有1976 - 1977年至1980 - 1981年这5年的完整信息。内科一年级住院医师的人数持续上升。十多年来，美国医学院毕业班每年有固定比例（35%至38%）进入这些项目。亚专科培训一年级学员的人数在20世纪70年代上半叶每年增长10%至11%，在70年代下半叶略有下降，且在过去两年保持稳定。住院医师人数增加而学员人数减少的最终结果是，进入普通内科的内科医生比例上升，而选择亚专科职业的内科医生比例相应下降。
