    Area of Science:

    • Medical Education
    • Residency Training
    • Graduate Medical Education

    Background:

    • Accurate data on postgraduate year 1 (PGY1) positions is crucial for understanding physician training pathways.
    • Discrepancies exist between data sources like the Directory of Residency Training Programs and the National Resident Matching Program (NRMP).

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present and analyze data on PGY1 positions in US residency programs.
    • To highlight differences in position reporting between major data sources.
    • To project future trends in physician supply and residency program demographics.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of data from accredited residency programs.
    • Comparison of reported positions from the Directory of Residency Training Programs and the NRMP.

    Related Experiment Videos

  • Examination of trends in US medical school graduate numbers and foreign medical graduate (FMG) participation.

    • Main Results:

    • In 1983, accredited programs offered 1.3 PGY1 positions per US medical school graduate.
    • The number of US medical school graduates is anticipated to decrease in subsequent years.
    • While the overall number of FMGs in residency programs is stable, the proportion of FMGs who are US citizens is increasing.

    Conclusions:

    • The physician training landscape in 1983 showed a favorable position-to-graduate ratio for US medical students.
    • Anticipated declines in US graduates may impact residency program dynamics.
    • An increasing trend of US citizens within the FMG pool in residency programs warrants attention.
