A Model to Evaluate Whether a Community Can Support a Physician.

Doeksen, Gerald A.; And Others

Journal of Medical Education, v63 n7 p515-21 Jul 1988

A survey was conducted in 1986 of 25 physicians' practices in rural Oklahoma, with data collected on the number of patient visits and practice costs. (Author/MLW)
