Medical School Enrollments Rise in US in 2009
Posted on: Friday, November 20, 2009
eMatchPhysicians is happy to report a positive trend in physician recruitment. According to Physician News Digest, first year enrollments in medical schools nationwide rose by 2 percent over 2008 to 18,400 students. While this looks good for the future in seeing more doctors, the same students may also face a shortage of residency training positions once they graduate.
This includes data from four brand new medical schools, which are:
- Texas Tech’s University Health Sciences Center Paul L. Foster School of Medicine
- FIU Herbert Wertheim College of Medicine
- The Commonwealth Medical College
- University of Central Florida College of Medicine
These four centers account for half of the enrollment increase numbers. 12 existing medical schools expanded their class sizes by 7 percent or more for the 2009 season.
The recession does not appear to be having an effect on the number of enrollments in medical schools, according to the data which was provided by the American Association of Medical Colleges.
