The AAMC recently published their Report on Residents 2021. Of note,
- The percentage of medical residents who identify as Black or African American and as Hispanic, Latino, or of Spanish origin has increased since last year.
- Women make up the vast majority in obstetrics and gynecology (85.2%) and pediatrics (72.7%).
- Only 27.0% of the 2020-21 graduates intended to train in the specialties they had listed as their preference when they began medical school.
- The majority of medical residents (57.1%) who completed residency training from 2011 through 2020 practice in the state where they completed their residencies.
- In a tip of the hat to my favorite state, physician retention after medical residency is highest in California (77.8%).
There are more goodies; the information is summed up in this table.
