United States
Health Workforce Personnel Factbook is a compilation of
data from more than a dozen professional associations and government
agencies. With 67 detailed tables, the Factbook
paints a comprehensive, descriptive picture of the health care workforce.
Current and historical supply of physicians, dentists, nurses, pharmacists,
optometrists, podiatrists, and allied health professionals are covered.
The Factbook also looks
toward the future, detailing number of schools and first-year enrollment
patterns for most health care disciplines. Trends in practice are
depicted in tables that track the number of hospitals, hospital-based
personnel and national health care spending over time.
