Abstract
A recent survey by the Center of Health Services Research and Development of the American Medical Association reveals that the number of group practices among American physicians more than doubled between 1966 and 1980 (from 4287 up to 10762). The greatest period of proliferation in group practice occurred between 1975 and 1980 [1]. Moreover, the survey reveals that, contrary to the case in the early years of group practice, which were characterized by multispecialty groups, this latest growth in group practice among physicians occurred among single-specialty groups.
