This final report from the cooperative manpower study of the University of Southern California and The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists describes the development of a female data file that outlines the care of women patients by all specialties. Obstetrician-gynecologists are compared to other specialists; they see 300,000 women per day in the United States and provide a wide range of care. Preventive care plays a larger role than in other major specialties, patient counseling and education are emphasized, and obstetric care is a major commitment. Nonetheless, acute and serious surgical and medical diagnoses are an important component of the practices of obstetrician-gynecologists.
