Abstract:
This publication provides detailed statistics about active physicians and physicians in training in the specialties with the largest numbers of active physicians in the United States (i.e., specialties with more than 2,500 active physicians). The 2020 Physician Specialty Data Report, updated from the 2018 edition, provides the most current data available about the physician workforce across specialties in a series of figures and tables. The report is divided into two sections: Section 1: Active Physicians. This section provides data on active physicians practicing in the 50 U.S states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico who are in the 47 most reported specialties. Data include the number of physicians by specialty; the number of people per active physician by specialty; age, gender, and type of medical degree by specialty; in-state graduate medical education (GME) retention by specialty; and percentage change in the number of active physicians by specialty (2014-2019). Section 2: Residents and Fellows. This section presents data on physicians in Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) residencies and fellowship programs for the 47 most reported specialties. Data include the number of residents and fellows by specialty, gender, and type of medical degree by specialty, and percentage change in the number of residents and fellows by specialty (2014-2019).
