Table B1. Experiences of First-Year Residents by Specialty
2021-22 First-Year Residents
The table below displays statistics on research experiences, publications, work experiences, and volunteer experiences for all active first-year residents in 2021-22, by specialty. For example, the average number of research experiences for 2021-22 first-year residents entering Anesthesiology was 3.0. Data are for graduates of MD-granting and DO-granting U.S. and Canadian schools and of international medical schools. International medical school graduates include both U.S. citizens and non-U.S. citizens who graduated from any medical school outside the United States and Canada. Specialties are excluded if more than 90% of the entering residents in that specialty have prior training. Please contact residentreport@aamc.org with any comments or questions.
Selected Finding: The distribution of experiences for first-year residents varies widely across specialties. There is also substantial variation of experiences of entering residents within each specialty.
| ACGME-Accredited Specialties | Description of Experience | Number | Average | Standard Deviation | 10th Percentile | 25th Percentile | 50th Percentile | 75th Percentile | 90th Percentile |

1. All PGY1s in Pediatrics and in Obstetrics and Gynecology are included in the table above, including those for whom the position is a preliminary year for another specialty. Preliminary positions were not reported separately because they make up less than 3% of the first-year positions in each of these specialties.
