In 2023, the number of people who graduated from medical schools across the United States amounted to 28,811 graduates. During that year, with 2,509 graduates, the State of New York recorded the highest number of medical school graduates, followed by Texas and Pennsylvania.

Among the top (tier one) medical schools for research in the U.S., the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center had the highest enrollment, at 943 students. This statistic depicts the total enrollment of the best medical schools in research in the United States, as of 2024.

The number of medical graduates in the United Kingdom increased by 305 graduates (+3.45 percent) in 2022 in comparison to the previous year. With 9,140 graduates, the number of medical graduates thereby reached its highest value in the observed period. Medical graduates are students who have graduated from medical school or similar institutions within a given year. Per its definition, the OECD excludes dental, public health, or epidemiology graduates. The rate of medical graduates is of importance especially in countries with physician shortages.Find more key insights for the number of medical graduates in countries like Denmark, Sweden, and Estonia.

The percent of underrepresented minority (URM) students who apply to medical school has minimally changed in the past 40 years. Due to the lack of URM applicants, consequent matriculation of URMs is grossly disproportionate from their percent representation of the United States (U.S.) population. Increasing diversity among medical students and physicians has previously been identified as essential to decreasing healthcare disparities among U.S. minorities. Therefore, it is vital to recognize barriers to applying to medical school among URMs. To identify and assess prevalence of barriers, surveys were distributed to participants of MedAchieve, a mini-medical school program of diverse high school students in New York City. Of students who will be first in their immediate family to attend college, 80% perceived a barrier of pursuing medical school. Specified barriers indicated include cost of medical school (77%), lack of guidance/role models (54%), and predicted inability to do well in medical school classes (54%). At the end of the program, a statistically significant reduction in the barrier of lack of guidance/role models was seen. This study highlights the benefit of mini-medical school programs, especially programs with a mentoring component, to decrease perceived barriers of applying to medical school among URMs and suggests the potential role of similar programs to increase diversity in medicine and to decrease healthcare disparities among minorities in the United States.

Purpose: To determine if medical students of different races/ethnicities or genders have different perceptions of bias in the United States (US). Methods: An IRB-approved, anonymous survey was sent to US medical students from November 2022 through February 2024. Students responded to statements regarding perceptions of bias toward them from attendings, patients, and classmates. Chi-square tests, or Fisher’s exact tests, when appropriate, were used to calculate if significant differences exist among genders or races/ethnicities in response to these statements. Results: 370 students responded to this survey. Most respondents were women (n=259, 70%), and nearly half were White (n=164, 44.3%). 8.5% of women agreed that they felt excluded by attendings due to their gender, compared to 2.9% of men (p=0.018). 87.5% and 73.3% of Hispanic and Black students agreed that bias due to race negatively impacted research opportunities compared to 37.2% of White students (p<0.001). 87% and 85.7% of W..., This data was collected through Google Forms, and respondents were asked to log in with their email addresses to make sure that they could only submit their responses once.

There is increasing recognition of the importance of medical student wellbeing. The purpose of this study was to determine the characteristics that are associated with lower wellness in medical students. An anonymous, IRB-approved survey was distributed to medical students across the United States. Students were asked to rate their response to different statements regarding wellness on a scale from 1 to 10 with 1 indicating "Strongly Disagree" and 10 indicating "Strongly Agree". For statistical analyses, the Wilcoxon rank-sum test or Kruskal-Wallis test was applied. A statistical significance level of 0.05 was used for analysis. From November 2022 to February 2024, 370 medical students across the United States responded to this survey (response rate of 0.03%). Most respondents were women (n=259, 70%), White (n=164, 44%), first- and second-year medical students (n=107, 29%, n=98, 24%, respectively), and interested in internal medicine, a surgical subspecialty, or pediatrics (n=62, 17%, n=58, 16%, n=42, 11%, respectively). There are statistically significant different experiences of burnout based on the year of training in medical school (p<0.001) with third-year students having increased feelings of burnout, followed by their peers in a specified research year. Medical students living in the Midwest identified most strongly with being a workaholic compared to their peers living in other regions of the country (p=0.01). A medical student's specialty of interest influenced their confidence in matching their chosen specialty (p=0.003). There are no statistically significant differences in wellness between men and women or among different races. There are statistically significant differences in medical student wellness based on year of training and specialty interest. Our study suggests that additional resources and support may be helpful for students in their clinical or research years, or those interested in certain specialties.

As future physicians, first-year medical students are well positioned to work on the long-term creation of a more equitable healthcare system. But how prepared are first-year medical students to begin the work of dismantling structural racism in the US healthcare system? In this study, we analyzed a sample of 75 medical student reflective responses to a book focused on the legacy of racism in medicine. Our findings indicate that students enter medical school in a range of states of critical consciousness that are visible in their ‘stances’ towards racial inequality in the healthcare system. The stances described in our findings extend the critical consciousness framework, providing a more nuanced understanding of students’ starting orientations to health justice. Since students arrive in different stances towards confronting the systemic inequalities inherent to the US healthcare system, understanding these stances may help medical educators tailor learning experiences to medical students' needs more effectively.

Background: Despite ultrasound being an inherent part of medical education, only a few German medical schools have established a comprehensive ultrasound curriculum. This study aimed to explore medical students' perspectives on ultrasound in medical education (USMed).Results: Between January 1st, 2019 und June 30th, 2019, an online survey was conducted among German medical students via the students' associations and their respective teaching facilities. The survey consisted of 17 items regarding USMed. Statements were rated on a 4-point Likert scale for agreement. In total, 1040 students from 31 German medical faculties participated. The majority (1021, 98.2%) reported a very high to high interest in curricular USMed. Students agreed (n = 945, 90.9%) that USMed would be helpful along their entire course of medical studies. Considering the best starting time for USMed, the opinions of German medical students diverged: students studying in a model curriculum preferred to start in the second year (40.7%) while 49% of the students studying in a traditional curriculum preferred to start in the third year (p ≤ 0.001). An insufficient allotment of time for USMed in the planned curriculum (675, 65%) and a lack of courses run by medical faculty (305, 29.4%) were listed as perceived significant barriers to the participation in USMed. Peer teaching was regarded as an effective method in realizing USMed by 731 (70.3%) students.Conclusion: German medical students are very interested and willing to participate in USMed. There appears to be a high demand for US courses offered by medical schools.

PurposePoint-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) is a sensitive, safe, and efficient tool used in many clinical settings and is an essential part of medical education in the United States. Numerous studies present improved diagnostic performances and positive clinical outcomes among POCUS users. However, others stress the degree to which the modality is user-dependent, rendering high-quality POCUS training necessary in medical education. In this study, the authors aimed to investigate the potential of an artificial intelligence (AI) based quality indicator tool as a teaching device for cardiac POCUS performance.MethodsThe authors integrated the quality indicator tool into the pre-clinical cardiac ultrasound course for 4th-year medical students and analyzed their performances. The analysis included 60 students who were assigned to one of two groups as follows: the intervention group using the AI-based quality indicator tool and the control group. Quality indicator users utilized the tool during both the course and the final test. At the end of the course, the authors tested the standard echocardiographic views, and an experienced clinician blindly graded the recorded clips. Results were analyzed and compared between the groups.ResultsThe results showed an advantage in quality indictor users’ median overall scores (P = 0.002) with a relative risk of 2.3 (95% CI: 1.10, 4.93, P = 0.03) for obtaining correct cardiac views. In addition, quality indicator users also had a statistically significant advantage in the overall image quality in various cardiac views.ConclusionsThe AI-based quality indicator improved cardiac ultrasound performances among medical students who were trained with it compared to the control group, even in cardiac views in which the indicator was inactive. Performance scores, as well as image quality, were better in the AI-based group. Such tools can potentially enhance ultrasound training, warranting the expansion of the application to more views and prompting further studies on long-term learning effects.

In 2024, around***** percent of college students in the U.S. who had been diagnosed with an anxiety disorder had visited a health care professional for their disorder within the past year.

This study comprises the second round of the physician survey component of the Community Tracking Study (CTS) sponsored by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. The CTS is a national study designed to track changes in the American 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. As in the first round of the physician survey (COMMUNITY TRACKING STUDY PHYSICIAN SURVEY, 1996-1997: UNITED STATES), the second 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, views on care management strategies, and various other aspects of physicians' practice of medicine. In addition, primary care physicians (PCPs) were asked to recommend courses of action in response to some vignettes of clinical presentations for which there was no prescribed method of treatment. Dataset 3, the Site and County Crosswalk Data File, identifies the counties that constitute each CTS site. Dataset 4, the Physician Survey Summary File, contains site-level estimates and standard errors of the estimates for selected physician characteristics, e.g., the percentage of physicians who were foreign medical school graduates, the mean age of physicians, and the mean percentage of patient care practice revenue from Medicaid.

Abstract (en): 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. Physicians practicing in the contiguous United States who provided direct patient care for at least 20 hours per week. The survey excluded federal employees, specialists in fields in which the primary focus was not direct patient care, graduates of foreign medical schools who were only temporarily licensed to practice in the United States, physicians who had not completed their medical training (residents, interns, and fellows), and physicians who requested of the American Medical Association (AMA) that their names not be released to outsiders. Based on a sampling frame derived from the AMA Masterfile (which includes non-AMA members) and the American Osteopathic Association membership file, the sample design involved randomly selecting both physicians who were interviewed by the third round of the CTS Physician Survey and physicians who were not included in earlier rounds of the survey. Among the 6,628 physicians who were interviewed in round four, 4,428 also responded to round three. Only those physicians whose mailing address fell within the boundary of one of the 60 sites were selected for the survey. 2008-05-14 Stata setups were added to the collection. In addition, a missing value label for variable AP1 was added to the SPSS setup for the Restricted-Use Version of the Main Data File.

Endowment returns for many universities skyrocketed early in the current period, largely fueled by booming private equity and hedge fund activity. In 2021, private nonprofit universities saw a staggering 684.0% jump in investment returns. In contrast, public universities, which typically hold smaller endowments invested more in US equities and fixed-income assets, experienced more modest gains. Meanwhile, inflation and rising interest rates in 2022 reversed the boom for private nonprofits, while public universities' endowments' focus on fixed-income assets stabilized their returns. Skyrocketing investment returns bolstered surpluses, but rising wage expenditures among expanding staff sizes have since brought down profit. Revenue has been sinking at a CAGR of 0.6% over the five years through 2025 to an estimated $610.9 billion despite an expected 1.7% rise in 2025 alone. Colleges and universities are contending with sluggish enrollment growth. Lackluster job placement rates and the highly publicized student debt crisis have made many potential students skeptical of a college degree's return on investment. With judicial reviews rendering the Biden administration's efforts to ease the burden of student debt unsuccessful, student loans remain a major deterrent for consumers. Many have instead opted for cheaper trade schools with reliable connections to employers. Community colleges' affordable prices are also making them a larger competitive threat to four-year universities. In response, universities are hiring capable staff and ramping up marketing campaigns to promote the value of their degree programs. Mounting automation will encourage many to enroll in a university to switch to a new field with more job security. Student loans will become more attractive as inflation stabilizes and the Federal Reserve continues to lower interest rates, encouraging traditional university enrollment. Still, the Trump administration's end to student debt forgiveness initiatives will lead to more price sensitivity among potential students, intensifying competition both between universities and with other cheaper options for postsecondary education. International students will remain a valuable revenue stream, especially as legislative changes in Canada promote higher education in the US with students from overseas. Revenue is set to swell at a CAGR of 0.6% to an estimated $636.0 billion through the end of 2030.

ABSTRACT Health undergraduates and professionals feel embarrassment when facing issues concerning the sexuality of their patients. As a result, it is not uncommon to see the establishment of a superficial relationship, errors in diagnoses and the impossibility of giving treatment. Studies show that this difficulty is due to inadequate education of these professionals, especially regarding vulnerable groups whose experiences lie beyond the hegemonic heteronormativity which delimits the sexual field. In Brazil, there is limited research which aims to comprehend how this subject has been tackled in medical school. This investigation examined this issue and its main objective was to understand, from the perspectives of undergraduates at a federal medical school, how aspects regarding sexuality and gender are approached in the course. This is a qualitative research involving semi-structured interviews conducted with fifteen students in their final year of the course. The interviews were recorded, transcribed and examined based on content analysis. The subjects of the formal curriculum were also been analyzed, separating the titles of the classes which involved exclusively biological aspects from those which involved psychosocial aspects. Each one of these groups has been considered in relation to the total of content of the curriculum in order to assist us with the analysis of the interviews. The dialogue between the empirical categories and the bibliography shows the difficulty undergraduates feel in dealing with a theme that cannot be completely apprehended by technical and operational knowledge. The idea that the theme is not discussed in medical school contributes to hiding the fact that such a topic is, in reality, widely discussed. However, the approach used is organicist, contributing to the maintenance of binary, naturalized, essentialist categories which reinforce the norms that regulate the field of sexuality. Advocating the pivotal role that all individuals involved in medical education play, we finally discuss the need for qualitative changes in the curriculum which would enable us to build new forms of knowledge and performance. By valuing experiences, expertise and diverse pedagogical practices, these new forms can rupture the hegemonic dichotomies and hierarchies in order to positively transform social reality.
