Snapshot illustrates geographical distribution of practice positions

This month’s Workforce Snapshot demonstrates where fellows completing training are finding practice positions.

Fellows completing training in 2002 reported having found practice opportunities in all parts of the United States. The most common areas of the country are:

  • South Atlantic Census Division – 36%
    (Delaware, Washington, D.C., Florida, Georgia, Maryland, North Carolina, South Carolina, Vir ginia and West Virginia)
  • East North Central – 18%
    (Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio and Wisconsin)

The chart at right shows that the relatively “allergist/immunologist-poor” areas, such as the South Atlantic and East South Central divisions are some of the most likely locations for new allergist/immunologists to find positions. Statistics show that only 7% of new A/Is found positions in New England, which is considered an “allergist/immunologist-rich” area.

In “allergist/immunologist-poor” areas of the country, the job market appears to be robust. It is also a positive sign that only 4% of fellows completing training are leaving the country to practice.
