U.S. Physician Workforce Data Dashboard
For the most current data available on the U.S. physician workforce, please visit the U.S. Physician Workforce Data Dashboard. The U.S. Physician Workforce Data Dashboard was launched in 2023, combining data previously published in the State Physician Workforce Data Report and Physician Specialty Data Report.
The Physician Specialty Data Report was published biennially between 2012 and 2022. The report provided detailed statistics on active U.S. physicians and physicians in residency and fellowship programs for the largest specialty groups. The State Physician Workforce Data Report was published biennially between 2007 and 2021. The report provided state-specific data about active physicians and physicians in training, in a series of figures, tables, and maps that provide detailed statistics on active physicians, MD and DO students, residents, and fellows.
