Introduction
This publication, prepared by the Center for Workforce Studies at the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC), provides detailed statistics about active physicians and physicians in training in the specialties with the largest number of active physicians (i.e., specialties with more than 2,500 active physicians) in the United States. The 2012 Physician Specialty Data Book, an update of the 2008 edition, provides the most current data available about the physician workforce across specialties in a series of gures and tables. Additionally, the 2012 edition provides a summary table comparing the means in 2007 and 2010. This Data Book is divided into two sections: Section 1: Active Physicians. This section provides data on active physicians in the United States, including general characteristics; specialties with the largest numbers of physicians; number of people per active physician by specialty; age, gender, and type of degree data by specialty; state retention by specialty; and percent change in the number of active physicians by specialty (2000-2010). Data on race and ethnicity were not available. Section 2: Graduate Medical Education. This section presents data on physicians in residency and fellowship programs, including the number by specialty, the percentage who are female by specialty, degree information by specialty, and the percent change in the number of residents and fellows by specialty (2005-2010). The primary data sources for this report include: The American Medical Association (AMA) 2011 Physician Masterle (data as of Dec. 31, 2010), population estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau, and the AAMC/AMA National GME Census.

We would like to express our appreciation to our AAMC colleagues for their collaborative efforts. We would also like to thank the AMA for making the Masterle data available to the AAMC for purposes of data analysis.
Note
In Figures 3-17, primary care specialties (internal medicine, family medicine/general practice, pediatrics, and internal medicine/ pediatrics) are shaded differently for easy reference.
I1I
Key Findings Active Physicians

In 2010, the specialties with the largest numbers of active physicians were the primary care specialties of internal medicine (109,048), family medicine/general practice (106,549), and pediatrics (55,509) (Table 1). In 2010, less than one-third (30.4%) of the active physician workforce in the United States was female (Figure 1). Percentages of females in the top specialties ranged from a high of 58.1% in pediatrics to a low of 4.0% in orthopedic surgery (Table 3). In 2010, four in 10 active physicians in the United States were age 55 or older (Figure 1). Percentages in individual specialties ranged from a high of 62.4% age 55 or older in preventive medicine to a low of 3.2% in internal medicine/ pediatrics (Table 4). The specialties with the highest percentage of active physicians practicing in the same state where they trained were child and adolescent psychiatry (57.4%), psychiatry (56.4%), and family medicine/general practice (56.3%). The specialties with the lowest percentage practicing in the same state were plastic surgery (34.1%), neurological surgery (33.7%), and thoracic surgery (32%) (Table 8). The 10-year period from 2000 to 2010 saw remarkable growth in some specialties, particularly some of the newer specialties such as internal medicine/pediatrics, which tripled from 934 to more than 3000. Geriatric medicine (71.6%) and emergency medicine (44.6%) also experienced notable growth (Table 9).
Key Findings Graduate Medical Education

In 2010, the specialties with the largest number of first-year ACGME residents and fellows were the primary care specialties of internal medicine (8,551), family medicine/general practice (3,246), and pediatrics (2,696) (Table 10). In 2010, the largest proportion of residents and fellows in ACGME-accredited programs were U.S. M.D.s (65.0%), while International Medical Graduates (I.M.G.s) comprised 27.4% and 7.3% were D.O.s (Figure 2). In 2010, 46.1% of the residents and fellows in ACGME-accredited programs were female (Figure 2). Percentages in the top specialties ranged from a high of 81.4% female in obstetrics and gynecology residencies to a low of 13.2% female in orthopedic surgery residencies (Table 11). Between 2005 and 2010, neurological surgery (59.2%), vascular surgery (53.7%), and urology (50.0%) saw the most growth in the number of first-year ACGME residents and fellows. Plastic surgery (-30.2%), preventive medicine (-25.0%), and thoracic surgery (-17.4%) saw the biggest decreases (Table 15).

Key Denitions
Active physicians: Physicians (federal and non-federal) who are licensed by a state are considered active, provided they are working at least 20 hours per week. Physicians who are retired, semi-retired, temporarily not in practice, not active for other reasons, or who have not completed their graduate medical education are excluded. Active physicians include those working in direct patient care, administration, medical teaching, research, or other non-patient care activities. Active physicians include physicians with a Doctorate of Medicine (M.D.) and physicians with a Doctor of Osteopathy (D.O.). The total number of active physicians may differ between tables in this report, as a result of missing information in the data le. For example, to determine the percentage of active physicians who are female, the total number of active physicians excludes people whose gender was not reported in the data le. U.S. M.D.: Physicians who received their Doctor of Medicine from a U.S. allopathic medical school. D.O.: Physicians who received their Doctor of Osteopathy from a U.S. osteopathic school. First-year residents/fellows: Physicians who are in their rst year of a graduate medical education (GME) in their specialty are considered rst-year residents or fellows. In some cases, the resident or fellow may have had prior GME training in a different specialty. International medical graduate: An individual with an M.D. or related degree who graduated from a medical school outside the United States or Canada is considered an international medical graduate (IMG). This includes U.S. citizens who have gone outside of the United States to attend medical school. To be eligible for licensure and practice in the United States, all IMGs must complete accredited graduate training in the United States or its equivalent.

I3I
Practice Specialty
This report presents data on the specialties with the largest number of active physicians in 2010, dened as having more than 2,500 active physicians. Specialty designations for active physicians rely on the primary specialty selected by the physician on the Census of Physicians, which is administered by the AMA. Specialty designations for residents and fellows reect the ACGME training program in which the physician is training. The AMA Physician Masterle lists more than 200 specialty categories and there are more than 140 ACGME specialties and subspecialties. To give a more comprehensive and informative view of the specialty category, we grouped some related specialties together. Because of differences in the specialty designations between the AMA Physician Masterle and the ACGME, specialty groupings used in this report will sometimes vary for active physicians and trainees as indicated below.
