Table C8. Full-Time Faculty-Appointment Status at U.S. Medical Schools for Residents Who Completed Residencies, by Specialty and Rank

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 have a full-time faculty appointment at a U.S. MD-granting school, by ACGME-accredited specialty and subspecialty and by faculty-appointment rank. Data are for graduates of MD-granting and DO-granting U.S. and Canadian schools and of international medical schools, for the most recently completed ACGME-accredited specialty and subspecialty. For example, 263 of the 1,356 individuals (19.4%) who last completed residency training from 2011 through 2020 in Allergy and Immunology currently hold an assistant professor full-time faculty appointment at a U.S. MD-granting school. Part-time faculty appointments are not included. Counts and percentages shown for specialties do not include counts and percentages for the related subspecialties.
