CEPs were concentrated in several states, including New York, California and Massachusetts. Compared with all IMGs, CEPs are more likely to be Anatomic/ Clinical Pathologists and Anesthesiologists. Over 50% of the CEPs were practicing in Internal Medicine, Anatomic/ Clinical Pathology, Anesthesiology, Family Medicine or Neurology. Overall, in 2017, four Chinese medical schools provided 32.1% of all Chinese-educated physicians in the US. Of the Chinese citizens identified in 2008, 913 (19.3%) attended medical school outside of China in 2017, 376 (6.7%) attended medical school outside of China, representing a decrease of 58.8%.
The majority held Chinese citizenship at entry to medical school (98.4% vs 97.1%) with the remainder being citizens of other East Asian nations. The number of Chinese-educated physicians (CEPs) to the United States (US) has increased over the past 10 years, from 3,878 in 2008 to 5,355 in 2017 (+38.1%).
