2019-20 Active Residents
The table below displays the number and percentage of 2019-20 active DO residents by race/ethnicity (alone or in combination) and specialty. "Alone or in combination" indicates those who selected a race/ethnicity category alone or in combination with another race/ethnicity response. The sum of the race/ethnicity categories may not add to the total number of residents since a resident could designate multiple race/ethnicity categories. For example, in 2019-20, two active DO residents who identified as American Indian or Alaska Native alone or in combination with any other race/ethnicity were training in Anesthesiology. Race/ethnicity data are only shown for U.S. citizens and permanent residents. The "Non-U.S. Citizen or Non-Permanent Resident" category may include residents with unknown citizenship. Data include graduates of DO-granting U.S. schools. Counts and percentages shown for specialties do not include counts and percentages for the related subspecialties. Please contact residentreport@aamc.org with any comments or questions.
