Table B6. Number of Active DO Residents, by Race/Ethnicity (Alone or In Combination) and GME Specialty

2024-25 Active Residents

The table below displays the number and percentage of 2024-25 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 2024-25, four active DO residents who identified as American Indian or Alaska Native alone or in combination with any other race/ethnicity response were training in Anesthesiology. Race/ethnicity data are only shown for U.S. citizens or permanent residents. The "Non-U.S. Citizen or Non-Permanent Resident" category may include residents with unknown citizenship. Data are for 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.

Selected Finding: The distribution of active DO residents by race/ethnicity varies across specialties. Overall, 62.0% of active U.S. citizen DO residents in 2024-25 reported White, 25.2% reported Asian, 6.3% reported Hispanic or Latino, 3.4% reported Black or African American, 0.7% reported American Indian or Alaska Native, 0.5% reported Middle Eastern or North African, and 0.2% reported Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander. Additionally, 5.5% of active DO residents were non-U.S. citizens in 2024-25.

Note: ACGME specialties and subspecialties with no active DO residents in YYYY1 were excluded. In 2025-26, the AAMC's methodology for acquiring race/ethnicity information was updated. The category of Middle Eastern or North African was added. Therefore, some active residents have not had the opportunity to respond to the updated race/ethnicity question. As a result, the new Middle Eastern or North African category may be underrepresented.
