Title: Entry of U.S. medical school graduates into family practice residencies: a national study, December 1983.
Abstract: This study is the second in a series of reports from the American Academy of Family Physicians on the percentage of each medical school's graduates who enter family practice residency programs. Approximately 12.9% of the 15,985 graduates of United States medical schools between July 1981 and June 1982 were first-year residents in family practice in December 1982. The West North Central region reports the highest percentage of medical school graduates who were first-year residents in family practice programs in December 1982; the New England and Middle Atlantic regions had the lowest percentage. Medical school graduates from publicly funded medical schools were twice as likely to be first-year residents in family practice in December 1982 as were graduates from privately funded medical schools.
