Doctor demographics: Data from the Federation of State Medical Boards

The Federation of State Medical Boards (FSMB) in July released its “Census of Licensed Physicians in the United States, 2022.” The report, compiled every two years since 2010, outlines demographics of the U.S. physician workforce.

“The wealth of data that this census provides can play a significant role in understanding the needs of our health care workforce and help to identify areas in which we can innovate and expand access to care,” FSMB Board Chair Jeffrey Carter, MD, said in the organization’s official announcement.

This slideshow presents findings about who makes up the physician workforce, where they come from, ages, and more.
