Physicians in the U.S.

This report provides some of the most important facts and figures concerning physicians in the United States. Physicians are central to every health system. In the U.S., the number of active physicians is constantly increasing, yet the supply is not meeting the demand and there is a growing shortage of physicians. This report includes data on national physician figures and for U.S. individual states. There are chapters on physician characteristics/demographic, compensation, and physician shortage. An additional chapter provides insight into the effects of the coronavirus pandemic on physicians. A chapter from the previous report has been removed as there is now a new report available on the topic of burnout among physicians.
