ReviewRAND study: workforce requirements and provider supply relevant to oculoplastic and orbital surgery.
The 1995 RAND study Estimating Eye Care and Workforce Requirements analyzes the United States' supply, demand, and need for eyecare providers. Portions of the RAND study were prepared along traditional ophthalmic specialty lines. ⋯ The RAND study results indicate a significant current and very probable future oversupply of oculoplastics workforce personnel. This oversupply is further exacerbated when a RAND study underestimate of the number of new fellowship-trained oculoplastic surgeons is corrected.
