Abstract/OtherAbstract:
There are concerns that Australia is facing an impending shortage in the medical workforce, and there are significant changes occurring in key determinants of medical workforce supply and demand. To date, workforce planning has not taken into account the full range of dynamic variables that are involved, nor accounted for their inherent uncertainty and complex interactions. Future planning will require more careful monitoring and dynamic modelling within a full healthcare system perspective.
