In 2023, the share of male practicing physicians aged 35-44 in the US was 11.13%. Forecasts for 2024 to 2028 indicate a steady decline from 10.92% to 10.21%, suggesting a subtle shift in the demographic composition within this segment of healthcare professionals. The year-on-year decreases average around 1.6%, and a five-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately -1.7% underscores this trend of decreasing male representation.
Future trends to watch include the continued influence of gender diversity initiatives and potential shifts in medical school enrollment demographics, which could further impact the gender composition within this age group of physicians.
