An analysis of the Register of Medical Practitioners and specialists of South Australia for 1976 shows that South Australia has a more favourable doctor‐population ratio than other parts of Australia, although some specialities and rural areas are undersupplied. With the planned increase in the output of doctors, the State may soon be saturated and some adjustments may have to be made in the numbers of students accepted and/or the distribution of graduates.
