ECOLOGY OF WISCONSIN PEDIATRICIANS

Horace K. Tenney III M.D.1 and Nathan J. Smith M.D.1

1 Department of Pediatrics, University of Wisconsin Medical School, Madison, Wisconsin, and King County Hospital, Seattle, Washington

The ecologic approach so useful in the study of multivariant phenomonae has been applied to a study of the physicians practicing pediatrics in Wisconsin. Ninety-five percent of the 139 physicians engaged in practice were interviewed personally by a professional survey worker inquiring about their education, training, practice, and attitudes. An overwhelming majority were satisfied with their professional work even though they worked an average of 60 hours per week and saw 150 patients, more than one half of whom were well babies, and even though they felt that their speciality as a whole was underpaid. Looking back on their training, many thought that it should have been more appropriate to the type of patient they would be seeing.
