• Description:
  During 1980 an estimated 575.7 million office visits were made to nonfederally employed, office-based physicians in the conterminous United States, an average of 2.7 office visits per person per year. These and other estimates presented in this report are based on data collected in the 1980 National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey, a probability sample survey conducted annually by the Division of Health Care Statistics of the National Center for Health Statistics. The physician sample for the National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey (NAMCS) is selected, with the cooperation of the American Medical Association and the American Osteopathic Association, from a list of nonfederally employed physicians who are principally engaged in office-based practice. Physicians practicing in Alaska and Hawaii, and physicians in the specialties of anesthesiology, pathology, and radiology are excluded from the survey. ; Suggested citation: National Center for Health Statistics, E.P.
