The survey of manpower in community hospital and private laboratory practice of pathology of 1988 presented herein verifies the conclusions of the 1986 survey that a growing deficit of manpower in this sphere of practice is highly likely in the next few years. It appears that the deficit will be even larger than that predicted by the 1986 survey. Steps are urgently needed to increase the flow of graduating medical students, especially those of top quality, into our specialty.
