Forecasting the Workforce of Uveitis Specialists

Listen to this summary

The authors aimed to assess the current workforce of uveitis specialists in the United States and project its future supply through 2055, in light of an increasing demand for care and a declining number of specialists. Their simulations revealed potential scenarios for workforce changes, indicating a possible decline to 145 specialists or an increase to 512, depending on various factors such as training and retirement rates. The study underscores the need to bolster the pipeline of uveitis specialists to ensure adequate care in the future.
