The table below displays the number of U.S. MD-granting and DO-granting school graduates from a given academic year who subsequently completed a residency program in each specialty, by type of degree program (e.g., MD-PhD). The data displayed are for the most recently completed ACGME-accredited specialty and subspecialty as of Dec. 31, 2021. For example, for the graduating class of 2016-17, Emergency Medicine was the last completed specialty for 1,520 MD graduates, 21 MD-PhD graduates, 55 graduates with another combined MD-graduate degree (e.g., MD-MPH), and 557 DO graduates. The graduation years are shown in three-year increments, from 2010-11 through 2016-17. Individuals who are shown as having completed a residency may be active again in another residency program. Counts shown for specialties do not include counts for the related subspecialties. Please contact residentreport@aamc.org with any comments or questions.
