In 2023, the share of female practicing physicians aged 65-74 stood at 4.38% of total physicians. The forecast shows a consistent increase annually from 2024 onwards, with a notable year-on-year growth rate. This trend reflects a growing presence of senior female physicians. Between 2024 and 2028, the compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) is expected to be approximately 6.1%, indicating a steady rise in the share of senior female physicians over this five-year period.
Future trends to watch include potential impacts from retirement rates, healthcare policy changes, and continued efforts to promote gender balance in medicine, which could alter these projections.
