Life cycle activity patterns of physicians Barer, M. L.; Gupta, Romilla; Kruger, Mary

Abstract

The present paper represents a first report from a project aimed at examining the determinants of and evidence on physician life cycle activity patterns. This paper contains four sections. In the first, we review some theoretical and empirical literature germane to life cycle activity patterns among physicians. Section II discusses the data currently available in B.C. to support empirical investigations of those patterns. In section III we report some preliminary results based on a random sample of general practitioners. The final section of the paper outlines briefly the next stages in the project.
