| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The study build a simulation model using agent based modeling (ABM) according to physician behavior owing their clinic to contribute the estimation of physician supply. Our observational study in Hokkaido, the most northern part of Japan, indicated the physician who born in the prefecture work more in place where few people live than ones come from other prefecture. We built the simulation of physician and clinic distribution of Hokkaido. We simulate their distribution under the different proportion for the sensitivity analysis of the birth place of medical students. There were small differences in Gini coefficients and Population per physician of the results from the sensitivity analysis (0%, 10%, 20%, 50%). This simulation study showed the health policy for physician supply according to the birthplace in the entrance examinations to the medical school has limited improvement.
