Main Results:

  • Full-time faculty increased by 2.4% to 104,949; however, applicants decreased by 9.5%.
  • Academic qualifications of entering students were stable, with 47.8% women and 13.1% underrepresented minorities.
  • Most schools required night call, but only 17 had formal student work hour policies; 60% required passing USMLE Steps 1 and 2.

Conclusions:

  • US medical schools experienced faculty growth alongside a shrinking applicant pool, with stable student academic standards and increasing diversity.
