Based on comparison of the 2010 and 2020 U.S. censuses, numbers in bold represent increases, italics represent declines; percentages for both are in parentheses for the U.S. population, U.S. medical school graduates, radiology applicants, residents, practicing physicians and radiology faculty members (Comparison of data abstracted from [5])
AI/AN/NH/PI American Indian/Alaskan native/Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander, M million
a Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS) data include other race/ethnicity and unknown race/ethnicity, and do not have a multi-race designation
b Includes diagnostic radiology and interventional-radiology-integrated residents with International Medical Graduate (IMG) pathway, U.S. and Canadian medical graduates and U.S. doctor of osteopathic medicine graduates
c Number of full-time faculty at all U.S. medical schools as of Dec. 31, 2020
Of note, a comparison of this 2020 data with the 2010 data published by Chapman et al. [5] shows that compared to the 2010 demographic data (below) there was no significant change in the number or percentage of men and women in DR and IR residency training programs:
Men – 3,271 (72.2)
Women – 1,260 (27.8)
Total Non-duplicated – 4,531
On page 1714 within the paragraph beginning with “By the 2020 U.S. Census. Women…”, the correct percentage for the women who were diagnostic radiology residents is 26.5% (instead of 35.9%). The point being made about underrepresentation remains valid.
