In 2023, the share of female practicing physicians aged 55-64 in the US stood at a certain percentage. From 2024 to 2028, forecasts suggest a gradual increase in their share, rising from 7.45% to 7.92% over this five-year period. Year-on-year, this represents modest growth, showing a steady upward trend in the representation of female physicians in this age group.
Trends to watch for include:
- Continued growth in female physician representation due to factors like increased medical school enrollment by women.
- Potential impacts of retirement trends and policy changes affecting working conditions for older physicians.
