Residents Who Completed Training, 2011-20
The table below displays the number and percentage of individuals who completed residency training from 2011 through 2020, are not currently active in any GME program, and practice in Medically Underserved Areas (MUAs) compared with those who do not practice in MUAs. Federally designated MUAs are based on an Index of Medical Underservice, which is derived from an area's ratio of primary medical care physicians per 1,000 population, infant mortality rate, percentage of the population with incomes below the poverty level, and percentage of the population age 65 or over. Data are for graduates of MD-granting and DO-granting U.S. and Canadian schools and of international medical schools. The data are limited to physicians providing direct patient care in the United States and Puerto Rico. The data are displayed by the most recently completed ACGME-accredited specialty or subspecialty. For example, 228 of 1,000 (22.8%) residents who completed a residency program in Allergy and Immunology from 2011 through 2020 went on to practice in an MUA in the United States or Puerto Rico. 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.
Selected Finding: Overall, as of 2020, 26.7% of the individuals who completed residency from 2011 through 2020 are practicing in MUAs. The rates of practicing in MUAs are greater than 20% for many of the largest specialties, such as Family Medicine, Internal Medicine, Neurology, Pediatrics, Psychiatry, and Surgery.Â

Note: For the purposes of this report, Medically Underserved Areas are geographically defined Medically Underserved Areas, which excludes other types of Medically Underserved Areas (see bhw.hrsa.gov/shortage-designation/muap). Geocoded practice locations include the 50 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico. States have differing numbers of areas designated as MUAs. Data are for physicians who provide direct patient care only. Data for physicians not represented in the AMA Physician Masterfile may be missing. About 7% of completed residents in GME Track® do not have information in the AMA Physician Masterfile about whether they provide direct patient care. As a result, practicing physicians may be underrepresented. Specialties with no reported residents were excluded.
