    AbstractAn annual survey of emergency medicine (EM) graduate physicians from 31 programs was conducted from 1977 through 1979. Results of the 1979 data are presented. Practice patterns show that 96% of the EM graduates are providing patient care, and almost half are working in the states in which they trained. Of those caring for patients, 38.8% practice in an urban location and only 7% work in rural hospitals. Learning new skills and procedures and retaining skills are major problems faced by physicians in rural locations. Other activities of EM graduates include teaching medical students and residents, administration, research, and community emergency medical services. Data are analyzed with attention to long-term commitment to emergency medicine. Implications for manpower needs are suggested.
