This study examines trends in the supply, distribution, and demographics of psychiatry residents during the 1990s. It evaluates the extent to which the predicted downsizing of psychiatry residency training programs actually occurred and how it affected training programs of different sizes and locations. ⋯ The field will have to decide whether it can afford anymore residency downsizing in light of emerging evidence of a shortage of psychiatrists.
