The present study shows that in 1998, Chile has 17,441 physicians (1:850), will have 20,610 (1:765) in 2003 and 24,449 in 2008. This last figure means a physician/inhabitant ratio of 1:679, similar to that of countries with a consolidated market economy. The foreseen medical population increase rate of 3.5% doubles the general population increase rate. To assure the quality of medical training, a Medical School accreditation process is being held. This study highlights the need to review bilateral agreements subscribed with five countries, that recognize the physician degree without assessing the medical skills of foreign graduates.info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessSociedad Médica de SantiagoRevista médica de Chile v.127 n.10 19991999-10-01text/htmlhttp://www.scielo.cl/scielo.php?script=sci_arttext&pid=S0034-98871999001000005es10.4067/S0034-98871999001000005
