While the competition for GME positions in the United States is getting tougher, it’s not a tight squeeze yet, according to Edward Salsberg, a healthcare workforce researcher.
Salsberg investigated the “GME squeeze,” the idea that the number of U.S. medical school graduates will soon outpace the country’s residency positions, in a recent Health Affairs blog post. He found that the number of first-year residency positions still far exceeds the number of U.S. Medical school graduates. In 2014, the National Resident Matching Program (NRMP) and the American Osteopathic Association (AOA) offered a total of 29,666 residency positions, compared to 22,300 U.S. graduating seniors, according to Salsberg.
