Table C2: Number of Individuals Who Completed Residency and Are Practicing in Medically Underserved Areas, by Last Completed GME Specialty
Residents Who Completed Training, 2008-17
The table below displays the number and percentage of individuals who completed residency training from 2008 through 2017, are not currently active in any GME program, and practice in Medically Underserved Areas, compared with those who do not practice in Medically Underserved Areas. Federally designated Medically Underserved Areas 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 include graduates of MD-granting and DO-granting U.S. and Canadian medical schools as well as graduates 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, 179 of 1,055 (17.0%) of residents who completed a residency program in allergy and immunology from 2008 through 2017 went on to practice in a Medically Underserved Aprea 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.
