本研究之目的在瞭解自民國71年至80年分發至行政院衛生署系統之公費醫師服務地點、執業科別、執業機構型態之變化情形。研究對象以衛生署公費醫師電腦檔之資料為依據，並以醫學院學生檔案及衛生署醫事人員資訊系統為輔助資料來源，研究結果如下：分發組別方面：公費醫師選擇特殊科之比例逐年增加，而基層醫療組內外婦兒科逐年漸減。執業機構型態方面：因階段別不同而異。此外隨年代在公立醫院服務之比例漸減，在私立醫療院所的比例漸增；在衛生所服務之比例，第二階段逐年減少，第三階段逐年增加。執業地點方面：第一階段即住院醫師訓練階段主要集中在直轄市及其他地區，第二階段則集中在優先獎勵區及其他地區，隨著年代於優先獎勵區執業之比例增加。基層醫療組公費醫師的特色為第二階段主要在衛生所及優先獎勵區與其他地區股務。基於前述研究的發現與結論，吾人建議衛生及教育主管機關對公費醫師政策應進一步探討，且應對於臺灣地區醫師人力專科別分布情形及變遷趨勢，進行深入研究，以符合醫療環境之需，並作為未來政策之參考。

　　　　　The objective of this study is to understandthe charcteristics of medical institution, specialty and location selection ofgovernment sponsored physicians (GSPs) from 1982 to 1991. Subjects of the studyare GSPs dispatched from 1982 to 1991. Data are collected from the GSPs file andthe medical manpower file in teh Department of Health, as well as the studentfile of each medical school. Important findings are as follows:Specialties suchas anesthesia, psychiatry, etc, tend to increase, while primary health carespecialties decrease annually. Medial iNstitutions selected by GSPs changed bytime and stage of service. the proportion of public hospitals decreased bu thatof private hospitals increased. The proportion of health station choicedecreased annually in the second stage but increased annually in the third stageof service. National Cities are the favorite locations selected in the firststage of service. But medically under-served areas become the major choice inthe second stage and its proportion increased annually. The most remarkablecharacteristics for the GSPs of the primary health care specialty are thathealth stations and medically under-served areas are the major choice in thesecond stage. According to the findings above, we suggested that the trends ofmedical manpower distribution and specialty choice for GSPs should be morethoroughly evaluated. Policies and regulations related to GSPs dispensation alsoneed to be modified.
