In 2022, the average age of licensed physicians in the United States and the District of Columbia was 51.9 years. In comparison, the mean age of licensed physicians in 2010 was 50.7 years, more than a year younger.

As of 2018, the largest distribution of U.S. physicians was between the ages of 55 and 65 years old. At that time about ** percent of physicians fell within this age group. With just **** percent of all physicians, the smallest distribution of U.S. physicians was among those aged 35 years or younger. Data suggests that in the U.S. the average age of medical students is around 24 years old and the average age of matriculants is about **.

U.S. Physician demographics  

It is estimated that one of the best ways to combat aging population health needs is to increase the number of doctors practicing in the U.S. In general, the number of physicians in the U.S. has been on the rise. Every year about 20 thousand new physicians join the U.S. workforce. Despite an increase in the number of physicians the number of active physicians per 10,000 people has remained relatively stagnant in recent years. As of 2019, the specialty with the largest number of physicians was psychiatry, followed by surgery.

Physician compensation  

Physician compensation varies significantly between regions and genders. With graduates owing an average of ******* U.S. dollars in student loans upon graduation, equal compensation has become especially important. However, women in the medical industry make significantly less income than their male counterparts. As of 2019, female physicians earned between ** and ** thousand U.S. dollars less than male physicians. Regionally, there are also significant differences. As of 2018, physicians working in the North Central U.S. had higher annual compensation than those in other areas. Those working in the Northeast had the lowest annual compensation.

The statistic displays the distribution of active physicians in the United States in 2021, based on specialty and age group. Over 68 percent of physicians specializing in pain medicine and pain management were under 55 years of age.

This is the fourth round of the physician survey component of the Community Tracking Study (CTS). The first round was conducted in 1996-1997 (ICPSR 2597), the second round in 1998-1999 (ICPSR 3267), and the third in 2000-2001 (ICPSR 3820). Sponsored by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, the CTS is a large-scale investigation of changes in the American health care system and their effects on people. As in the previous rounds, physicians were sampled in the 60 CTS sites: 51 metropolitan and 9 nonmetropolitan areas that were randomly selected to form the core of the CTS and to be representative of the nation as a whole. However, the fourth round lacks an independent supplemental national sample of physicians, which augmented the CTS site sample in the previous rounds. Information collected by the survey includes net income from the practice of medicine, year of birth, sex, race, Hispanic origin, year of graduation from medical school, specialty, board certification status, compensation model, patient mix (e.g., race/Hispanic origin of patients and percent with chronic conditions), career satisfaction, practice type, size, and ownership, percent of practice revenue from Medicare, Medicaid, or managed care, acceptance of new Medicaid and Medicare patients and, if applicable, reasons for not accepting them, use of information technology for care management, number of patient visits and hours worked in medically related activities during the last complete week of work, and the number of hours spent providing charity care in the last month. In addition, the survey elicited views on a number of issues such as patient-physician interactions, competition among practices, the influence of financial incentives on the quantity of services provided to patients, trends in the amount and quality of nursing support, one's ability to provide quality care and obtain needed services for patients, and the importance of various factors that may limit the quality of care. Part 3, the Site and County Crosswalk Data File, identifies the counties that constitute each CTS site. Part 4, Physician Survey Summary File, contains site-level estimates and standard errors for selected physician characteristics, e.g., the average age of physicians, the average percentage of patients with a formulary, and the percentage of physicians who said medical errors in hospitals are a minor problem.

This table provides a comparison of annual statistics on the Number of Physicians and Average Payments to Physicians by Age Group, based on fee-for-service payments under the Alberta Health Care Insurance Plan (AHCIP). This table is an Excel version of a table in the “Alberta Health Care Insurance Plan Statistical Supplement” report published annually by Alberta Health.

This table contains figures on the remuneration of general practitioners, dentists, psychiatrists and (other) medical specialists by age and gender who work in the healthcare sector. The income is broken down according to the type of income of the doctor (self-employed, salaried, director-major shareholder, other and total). It concerns doctors who work in the healthcare sector, i.e. have an employment relationship in SBI Q of the Standard Industrial Classification 2008 (SBI 2008), these are SBI codes starting with 86, 87 or 88. The reference moment used in a reporting year is the last Friday before Christmas. The sharp change in the average dividend from a substantial interest in 2019 compared to the previous year is partly due to a change in dividend tax. In the coming years, DGAs must limit any debts to their company to a maximum of 500,000 euros; anything borrowed from one's own company above this amount is regarded as a notional substantial interest. A company's debts can be reduced by means of dividend payments. Since the rate on income from a substantial interest in box 2 will gradually increase, it is most favorable to pay out dividend as early as possible. Data available from: 2011 Status of the figures: The data that are (partly) based on tax returns (profit, dividend, average income from other work, average standardized income) become available one year later than the publication on the number of employed doctors and the average annual wage. All figures for 2020 are provisional. The figures for 2019 are provisional, except for 'number of employed doctors', 'average annual salary excluding special remuneration', 'average annual salary including special remuneration'. The numbers are final. The figures for the other years are final. Changes as of 23 June 2022: - The provisional figures for 2019 for 'average profit', 'average dividends', 'average income from other work' and 'average standardized income' have been added. Corresponding figures for 2018 have thus become final. - The provisional figures for 2020 for the 'number of employed doctors', 'average annual salary excluding special remuneration' and 'average annual salary including special remuneration' have been added. Corresponding figures for 2019 have thus become final. When will new numbers come out? The following figures will be published in the second quarter of 2023: - The provisional figures for 2020 for 'average profit', 'average dividends', 'average income from other work' and 'average standardized income'. Corresponding figures for 2019 thus become final. - The provisional figures for 2021 for the number of employed doctors, 'average annual salary excluding special remuneration' and 'average annual salary including special remuneration'. Corresponding figures for 2020 thus become final.

Abstract (en): Sponsored by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, this survey is one component of the Community Tracking Study (CTS), a national study designed to track changes in the health care system and the effects of the changes on care delivery and on individuals. Central to the design of the CTS is its community focus. Sixty sites (51 metropolitan areas and 9 nonmetropolitan areas) were randomly selected to form the core of the CTS and to be representative of the nation as a whole. The Physician Survey was administered to physicians in the 60 CTS sites and to a supplemental national sample of physicians. Information gathered by the survey instrument includes physician supply and specialty distribution, practice arrangements and physician ownership of practices, sources of practice revenue, level and determinants of physician compensation, effects of care management strategies, and physicians' allocation of time, provision of charity care, career satisfaction, and perceptions of their ability to deliver care. For primary care physicians, the survey instrument also provided vignettes of various clinical presentations for which there was no prescribed method of treatment. These physicians were asked to indicate the percentage of patients for whom they would recommend the course of action specified in each particular vignette. Part 3, the Site and County Crosswalk Data File, describes which counties constitute each site. Part 4, the Physician Survey Summary File, contains site-level averages and percentages and standard errors of these estimates for selected attributes, e.g., the percentage of physicians who were foreign medical school graduates, average age of physicians, average percentage of patient care practice revenue from Medicaid, etc. Physicians who were practicing in the contiguous United States, were providing direct patient care for at least 20 hours per week, and were not federal employees. Residents and fellows, as well as physicians in selected specialties, were excluded. The CTS sites were selected using stratified sampling with probability proportional to population size. The supplemental sample, selected with stratified random sampling, was included in the survey to increase the precision of national estimates. The sample frame was developed by combining lists of physicians from the American Medical Association and the American Osteopathic Association. 2011-11-17 ICPSR added Stata setups to this collection.2001-12-21 (1) Data and documentation for the Restricted-Use Version of the Main Data File (Part 2) have been updated.

This study comprises the third round of the physician survey component of the Community Tracking Study (CTS). Sponsored by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, the CTS is a large-scale investigation of changes in the health care system and their effects on people. Central to the design of the CTS is its community focus. Sixty sites (51 metropolitan areas and 9 nonmetropolitan areas) were randomly selected to form the core of the CTS and to be representative of the nation as a whole. As in the first two rounds of the physician survey, COMMUNITY TRACKING STUDY PHYSICIAN SURVEY, 1996-1997: UNITED STATES and COMMUNITY TRACKING STUDY PHYSICIAN SURVEY, 1998-1999: UNITED STATES, the third round was administered to physicians in the 60 CTS sites and to a supplemental national sample of physicians. The survey instrument collected information on physician supply and specialty distribution, practice arrangements and physician ownership of practices, physician time allocation, sources of practice revenue, level and determinants of physician compensation, provision of charity care, career satisfaction, physicians' perceptions of their ability to deliver care, effects of care management strategies, and various other aspects of physicians' practice of medicine. Part 3, the Site and County Crosswalk Data File, identifies the counties that constitute each CTS site. Part 4, Physician Survey Summary File, contains site-level estimates and standard errors for selected physician characteristics, e.g., the average age of physicians, the percentage of physicians who were either very or somewhat dissatisfied with their overall career in medicine, and the average percentage of patients with prescription coverage that included the use of a formulary.
