Current Status of the U.S.

Physician Workforce
This section provides a brief overview of demographic and practice
characteristics among physicians who graduated from U.S. M.D.-granting medical
schools. Information on medical school applicants and graduates from racial and
ethnic minority backgrounds was collected as early as 1950; however, similar
information for white medical students and graduates was not collected
systematically until 1974. Therefore, the number of white physicians currently in
practice is underestimated.
In the review of these data, some interesting trends are worth noting. For
instance, the U.S. physician workforce is becoming more diverse, and
approximately 13.5 percent of physicians identify as black or African-American,
American Indian or Alaska Native, and Hispanic or Latino (see Figure 1). However,
these changes are not at the same pace with the nations demographic shift.
Although blacks and African-Americans comprise 13 percent of the nation, they
account for only 4 percent of the physician workforce.1
Among Asians, blacks or African-Americans, and Hispanics or Latinos, women make
up a greater percentage of younger physicians (age 29 and younger) compared to
their male counterparts. In light of changing demographics of the U.S.
population, if this trend continues, it suggests a shift in future years toward
even greater percentages of women in the physician workforce.
In fact, this shift has already occurred among black or African-American
physicians, which is the only racial or ethnic group currently comprising a
greater percentage of women than men. This difference is even more apparent among
medical school applicants where women comprise roughly two-thirds of black or
African-American applicants.2

Credit: SMDEP at University of Nebraska Medical Center In the past three decades,
there has been little growth among black or African-American medical school
graduates. Nonetheless, minority-serving institutions continue to be the largest
producers of black or African-American and Hispanic or Latino physicians. The two
U.S. medical schools graduating the most black or African-American physicians
from 1980 to 2012 were historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs):
Howard University and Meharry Medical College. And the three U.S. medical schools
graduating the most Hispanic or Latino physicians during those years were
Hispanic-serving institutions (HSIs) in Puerto Rico: The University of Puerto
Rico, Universidad Central del Caribe, and Ponce.

men comprised a greater percentage of physicians than women across Asian (56.4%),
American Indian or Alaska Native (58.1%), Hispanic or Latino (59.0%), and white
(65.2%) racial and ethnic groups.

In 2013, most subgroups of the Asian physician workforce comprised more men than
women, with Indian/Pakistani, Vietnamese, and Other Asian men representing the
highest percentages (55.3%, 57.8%, and 62.3%, respectively) in comparison to
their female counterparts. The only Asian subgroup in which there were more women
than men were Filipino physicians (51.3%).

currently practicing is underestimated and may account for the higher numbers in
the "unknown" category for those "65 & Older".

Figure 16: U.S. Physicians in Patient Care by Race, Ethnicity, and Sex, 2013
Across all racial and ethnic groups in patient care, the majority of physicians
practiced in office-based patient care settings. In contrast, less than 11
percent of physicians across all racial and ethnic groups worked as hospital
staff, with Asian physicians least represented. Residents and fellows comprised
between 15-35 percent of the physician workforce across all racial and ethnic
groups, with the greatest proportion (34.5%) among Asian physicians.

choose to practice non-primary care. However, non-white physicians are more
likely to practice primary care than their white counterparts, and nearly a
