7 Highlights and Key Findings Section One: Demographic Characteristics of the Allopathic Physician Workforce (MDs) in Nevada According to the American Medical Association (AMA), the number of allopathic physicians (MDs) in Nevada has grown from 2,342 in 1992 to 6,153 in 2012 an increase of 162.7% over the past twenty years (Table 1). While the number of MDs in Nevada has increased in every age category over the past two decades, the rate of growth has been faster in the older age categories. The percent of Nevada MDs over the age of 65 has increased from 16.3% in 1992 to 25.2% in 2012 (Table 1). In 1992, 11.5% of Nevada MDs were female, as compared to 25.0% in 2012 (Table 2). The relatively recent entry of women into the Nevada physician workforce is reflected in the different age distribution of the male versus female physician workforce. For example, 50.0% of male MDs in Nevada are over the age of 55, as compared to only 28.6% of female MDs who are over the age of 55 in Conversely, 44.8% of female MDs in Nevada are under the age of 45, as compared to 26.2% of male MDs who are under the age of 45 (Tables 3 and 4). In 2012, 2,023 MDs or 33.3% of all MDs in Nevada are international medical graduates (IMGs) that is, they received their undergraduate medical education (UME) in another country excluding Canada (Tables 5 and 6). Section Two: Distribution of the Allopathic Physician Workforce (MDs) in Nevada by Major Professional Activity and Self-Designated Specialty According to the American Medical Association (AMA), since 1992, the number of MDs in Nevada in each type of patient care activity office-based and hospital-based patient Office of Statewide Initiatives 1
8 care has grown. However, the proportion of the total physician workforce in Nevada whose major professional activity is patient care has declined from 84.7% in 1992 to 75.9% in 2012 (Table 7). Currently, 79.8% of female MDs in Nevada report that their major professional activity is patient care, as compared to 74.9% of male MDs who report that their major professional activity is patient care (Tables 8 and 9). Over the past decade, the number of international medical graduates (IMGs) in Nevada in each type of patient care activity has grown. Reflecting general trends in the Nevada physician workforce, the proportion of the total IMG physician workforce in Nevada whose major professional activity is patient care declined from 83.6% in 2002 to 74.3% in 2012 (Table 10). In 2012, 51.2% of MDs who are IMGs (1,037 of 2,023 IMGs) in Nevada report a primary care specialty or sub-specialty, as compared to 31.9% of MDs in Nevada who are US Medical Graduates (USMGs) (1,298 of 4,059 USMGs) (Tables 11). Currently, 38.3% of MDs in Nevada report that their self-designated practice specialty was in primary care family medicine, general practice, internal medicine, obstetrics/gynecology, or pediatrics or a primary-care sub-specialty (Table 12). In 2012, 33.0% of male MDs in Nevada are in a primary care specialty or subspecialty, as compared to 54.1% of female MDs reporting a primary care specialty or subspecialty (Table 12). Over the past decade, the number of MDs in a primary care specialty has grown by 378 (24.7%) and the number of MDs in a primary care sub-specialty has grown by 201 (83.4%). However, the proportion of the total physician workforce in a primary care specialty or sub-specialty declined from 40.2% in 2002 to 38.9% in 2012 (Table 13). The proportion of the allopathic physician workforce in Nevada (MDs) practicing in primary care (31.1%) is comparable to the national rate of 30.6% (Table 14). Since 1992, the number of MDs in Nevada has increased in almost every self-designated specialty area. Major specialties with the greatest numerical growth over the past two decades include internal medicine (763 or 228.4%), family medicine (381 or 202.7%), pediatrics (272 or 251.9%), anesthesiology (228 or 170.1%), emergency medicine (179 or 2 Office of Statewide Initiatives
9 229.5%), obstetrics/gynecology (123 or 82.6%), and psychiatry (107 or 148.6%) (Table 15). In 2012, when comparing the total female MD workforce with the total male MD workforce, greater percentages of women report a primary care specialty than do men. For example, 13.3% of female MDs are in pediatrics, as compared to 3.8% of male MDs in Nevada; likewise, 21.2% of female MDs in Nevada are in internal medicine, as compared to 16.7% of male MDs (Table 16). Over the past two decades, the number of patient care MDs in Nevada that is, physicians whose principal professional activity is the provision of patient care in an office-based setting or hospital has increased across most self-designated specialty areas. Major specialties with the greatest numerical growth of patient care MDs over the past two decades include internal medicine (733 or 227.6%), family medicine (370 or 201.1%), pediatrics (267 or 259.2%), anesthesiology (226 or 171.2%), emergency medicine (179 or 232.5%), obstetrics/gynecology (122 or 84.1%), and psychiatry (106 or 171.0%) (Table 17). Currently, when comparing the total female MD workforce in patient care with the total male MD workforce in patient, greater percentages of women report a primary care specialty than do men. For example, 16.4% of female patient care MDs are in pediatrics, as compared to 3.9% of male patient-care MDs in Nevada; 25.6% of female patient care MDs in Nevada are in internal medicine, as compared to 17.1% of male patient care MDs; 15.0 % of female patient care MDs in Nevada are in family medicine, as compared to 8.5% of male patient care MDs; and 8.4% of female patient care MDs in Nevada are in obstetrics/gynecology, as compared to 3.8% of male patient care MDs (Table 18). Section Three: Comparative Data on the Physician Workforce in Nevada and the US According to the American Medical Association (AMA), only 14.1% of allopathic physicians (MDs) in Nevada are under the age of 40. Among states bordering Nevada, Utah had the largest percentage of physicians under the age of 40 (17.8%). Currently, 17.2% of the national physician workforce is under the age of 40 (Table 19). Currently, 25.0% of the MD workforce in Nevada is aged 60 and over. Nationally, 27.6% of the MD workforce is aged 60 and over (Table 19). Office of Statewide Initiatives 3
10 Women currently represent 25.5% of the MD workforce in Nevada. Nationally, 31.9% of the MD workforce is women (Tables 20 and 21). Over the past three decades, the number of MDs in Nevada has grown from 1,171 in 1980 to 6,153 in 2012 (425.4%). Likewise, the number of MDs per 100,000 population in Nevada has grown from 147 to 223 (51.7%). However, Nevada s physician-to-population rank among US states dropped from 36 th to 47 th during the same time period (Table 22). While the number of MDs per 100,000 population in Nevada has improved from 173 to 223 over the last two decades, Nevada is bordered by three states Arizona, Idaho and Utah with physician-to-population ratios below the national rate of 323 MDs per 100,000 population (Tables 23 and 24). The number of MDs in patient care per 100,000 population in Nevada has improved from 145 in 1992 to 169 in Nonetheless, the Nevada population-to-physician ratio is well below the national rate of 247 MDs in patient care per 100,000 population (Tables 25 and 26). Since 1992, the number of MDs in Nevada has increased in almost every self-designated specialty area (Table 14). However, over the past two decades, change in the number of MDs per capita has been comparatively modest. For example, the number of family medicine MDs increased by 202.7% since 1992; however, the number of family medicine MDs per capita increased by only 44.6% during the same time period (Table 27). In 17 of 39 medical specialties, the number of MDs per capita has not kept pace with population growth in Nevada over the last two decades. For example, while the number of MDs in obstetrics/gynecology increased by 123 or 82.6% since 1992, the number of MDs in obstetrics/gynecology per capita declined by 12.8% during the same time period (Table 27). Currently, of the 39 self-designated specialties, only five specialty areas possess a higher number of MDs per capita in Nevada versus states in the Mountain Region: cardiovascular diseases, internal medicine, plastic surgery, forensic medicine, and transplant surgery. Across all 39 specialty areas, the number of MDs per capita in Nevada is 82.6% of the average rate for the Mountain Region (Table 28). 4 Office of Statewide Initiatives
11 In 2012, only 1 of 39 medical specialties has a higher number of MDs per capita in Nevada versus the US: forensic medicine. Across all 39 specialty areas, the number of MDs per capita in Nevada is 68.2% of the average rate for the US (Table 28). Over the past two decades, the number of patient care MDs in Nevada has increased in almost every self-designated specialty area (Table 16). However, change in the number of MDs per capita has been comparatively modest. For example, the number of patient care MDs in internal medicine increased by 227.6% since 1992; however, the number of patient care MDs in internal medicine per capita increased by only 57.0% during the same time period (Table 29). In 17 of 39 medical specialties, the number of patient care MDs per capita has not kept pace with population growth in Nevada over the last two decades. For example, while the number of MDs specializing in orthopedic surgery increased by 72 or 97.3% since 1992, the number of MDs in orthopedic surgery per capita declined by 5.4% during the same time period (Table 29). Currently, only 4 of 39 self-designated specialty areas possess a higher number of patient care MDs per capita in Nevada versus states in the Mountain Region: cardiovascular diseases, internal medicine, plastic surgery, and transplant surgery. Across all 39 specialty areas, the number of patient care MDs per capita in Nevada is 82.5% of the average rate for the Mountain Region (Table 30). In 2012, only 1 of 39 medical specialties has a higher number of patient care MDs per capita in Nevada versus the US: forensic medicine. Across all 39 specialty areas, the number of MDs per capita in Nevada is 67.7% of the average rate for the US (Table 30). Currently, there are 6,153 MDs in Nevada or MDs per 100,000 population. By comparison, the per capita number of MDs in the Mountain Region is per 100,000 population. To meet or exceed the regional per capita rate, Nevada would need a minimum of 1,264 additional MDs. In other words, the supply of MDs in Nevada would need to increase by 20.5% to reach the regional rate (Table 31). Of 39 self-designated specialties, 34 specialty areas possess a lower number of MDs per capita in Nevada compared to the Mountain Region. For example, there are 569 family medicine MDs in Nevada or 20.6 family medicine MDs per 100,000 population. The per capita number of family medicine MDs in the Mountain Region is 31.0 per 100,000 Office of Statewide Initiatives 5
12 population. To meet or exceed the regional number of family medicine MDs per capita, Nevada would need a minimum of 285 additional family medicine MDs (Table 31). Currently, there are 6,153 MDs in Nevada or MDs per 100,000 population. By comparison, the per capita number of MDs in the United States is per 100,000 population. To meet or exceed the national per capita rate, Nevada would need a minimum of 2,829 additional MDs. In other words, the supply of MDs in Nevada would need to increase by 46.0% to reach the national rate (Table 32). Of 39 self-designated specialties, 38 specialty areas possess a lower number of MDs per capita in Nevada compared to the United States. For example, there are 179 MDs in psychiatry in Nevada or 6.5 psychiatric MDs per 100,000 population. The per capita number of psychiatric MDs in the United States is 12.7 per 100,000 population. To meet or exceed the national number of psychiatric MDs per capita, Nevada would need a minimum of 172 additional psychiatric MDs (Table 32). In 2012, there are 4,661 patient care MDs in Nevada or patient care MDs per 100,000 population. By comparison, the per capita number of patient care MDs in the Mountain Region is per 100,000 population. To meet or exceed the regional per capita rate, Nevada would need a minimum of 996 additional patient care MDs. In other words, the supply of patient care MDs in Nevada would need to increase by 21.4% to reach the regional rate (Table 33). Currently, the per capita number of patient care MDs in the United States is per 100,000 population. To meet or exceed the national per capita rate, Nevada would need a minimum of 2,235 additional patient care MDs. In other words, the supply of patient care MDs in Nevada would need to increase by 48.0% to reach the national rate (Table 34). Since 1992, the number of MDs in Nevada has increased by 3,878 or 170.5%. This growth has occurred across all regions of the state. In rural and frontier counties, the number of MDs has increased by 150 or 138.9%. In urban counties, the number has increased by 3,728 or 172.0% (Table 35). Currently, 70.2% of MDs in Nevada are located in Clark County, 23.1% are located in Washoe County, 2.5% are located in Carson City, and 4.2% are located in the state s fourteen rural and frontier counties (Table 35). By comparison, 72.3% of the state s 6 Office of Statewide Initiatives
13 population resides in Clark County, 15.4% resides in Washoe County, 2.0% resides in Carson City, and 10.3% resides in rural and frontier Nevada. Over the past two decades, the number of MDs per 100,000 population in Nevada has increased by 34.9%. In rural and frontier counties, the number of MDs per capita has increased by 52.7%, as compared to 31.3% in urban counties (Table 36). Since 1992, the number of patient care MDs in Nevada has increased by 2,751 or 143.5%. In rural and frontier counties, the number of patient care MDs has increased by 104 or 128.4%. In urban counties, the number has increased by 2,647 or 144.2% (Table 37). Over the past two decades, the number of patient care MDs per 100,000 population in Nevada has increased by 21.5%. In rural and frontier counties, the number of MDs per capita has increased by 46.1%, as compared to 17.9% in urban counties (Table 38). Currently, 37.9% of MDs in metropolitan counties in Nevada list a primary care specialty or sub-specialty as their self-designated specialty, as compared to 41.3% of MDs in micropolitan counties and 72.7% of MDs in non-metropolitan counties (Table 39). In 2012, 64.7% of MDs in metropolitan counties in Nevada are providing patient care in an office-based practice, as compared to 57.3% of MDs in micropolitan counties and 54.5% of MDs in non-metropolitan counties. Currently, 11.3% of MDs in metropolitan counties in Nevada and 12.5% of MDs in micropolitan counties are providing patient care in a hospital-based practice, as compared to 30.3% of MDs in non-metropolitan counties (Table 40). Currently, 28.3% of physicians with an active license in Nevada are international medical graduates (IMGs) that is, they received their undergraduate medical education in another country. In 2012, Nevada ranked 7 th among US states in the percentage of physicians who are IMGs (Table 41). There are currently 5,361 total active physicians in Nevada, including 4,813 allopathic physicians (MDs) and 548 osteopathic physicians (DOs). In 2012, Nevada ranked 46 th among US states in the number of active physicians (MD and DO) per capita. Nevada has active physicians per 100,000 population, as compared to the US rate of active physicians per 100,000 population (Table 42). Office of Statewide Initiatives 7
14 There are currently 4,838 total active patient care physicians in Nevada, including 4,377 allopathic physicians (MDs) and 461 osteopathic physicians (DOs). In 2012, Nevada ranked 47 th among US states in the number of active patient care physicians (MD and DO) per capita. Nevada has active patient care physicians per 100,000 population, as compared to the US rate of active patient care physicians per 100,000 population (Table 43). There are currently 1,916 total active primary care physicians in Nevada, including 1,694 allopathic physicians (MDs) and 222 osteopathic physicians (DOs). In 2012, Nevada ranked 48 th among US states in the number of active primary care physicians (MD and DO) per capita. Nevada has 69.4 active primary care physicians per 100,000 population, as compared to the US rate of 90.1 active primary care physicians per 100,000 population (Table 44). There are currently 1,726 total active patient care primary care physicians in Nevada, including 1,524 allopathic physicians (MDs) and 202 osteopathic physicians (DOs). In 2012, Nevada ranked 48 th among US states in the number of active patient care primary care physicians (MD and DO) per capita. Nevada has 62.6 active patient care primary care physicians per 100,000 population, as compared to the US rate of 80.7 active patient care primary care physicians per 100,000 population (Table 45). Section Four: Undergraduate Medical Education (UME) and Graduate Medical Education in Nevada and the US According to the American Medical Association (AMA), 1,595 graduates of the University of Nevada School of Medicine (UNSOM) practicing in the United States. Nearly, three in five UNSOM graduates currently practicing in the US (57.9%) received their undergraduate medical education degree (MD) prior to 2000 (Table 46). Over the past decade, the number of UNSOM graduates practicing in the US has increased by 517 or 48.0%. During the same period, the number of UNSOM graduates with a self-designated primary care specialty or sub-specialty has increased from 520 in 2002 to 702 in 2012 (Table 47). In 2013, 29.8% of physicians completing UNSOM residencies and fellowships report that they will remain in Nevada to begin patient care practice or continue their graduate medical education (GME) (Table 48). 8 Office of Statewide Initiatives
15 Over the past decade, 49.3% of physicians completing UNSOM residencies and fellowships reported that they will remain in Nevada to begin patient care practice or continue their GME (Table 49). In 2012, there were 1,393 active physicians in the US who graduated from an MD or DO school in Nevada of this total, 513 or 36.8% are currently practicing in Nevada (Table 50). Among US states, Nevada ranks 27 th in the percentage of physicians who are practicing in the same state within which they received their undergraduate medical education (UME) degree (MD or DO) (Table 50). In 2012, there were 1,318 active physicians in the US who graduated from a public MD or DO school in Nevada of this total, 495 or 37.6% are currently practicing in Nevada (Table 51).
