PURPOSE: This report analyzes Medical Genetics and Genomics (MGG) training trends from 2015 to 2024. Understanding such trends is vital for developing targeted recruitment and workforce development initiatives. METHODS: Matriculation data from the American Board of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ABMGG) and publicly available data from the National Resident Matching Program (NRMP) Main Residency and Specialty Matches were reviewed. Descriptive statistics and linear regression analysis were used to compare growth among MGG training pathways and to analyze trends. RESULTS: From 2015 to 2024, there has been a small, but not statistically significant, increase in the total number of individuals who have matched into categorical MGG, combined Pediatrics (Peds)-MGG, and combined Internal Medicine (IM)-MGG residency programs as a whole. This has been driven by an increase in the number of matches to combined Peds-MGG programs. Matriculation into training programs has exceeded the number of matches in categorical MGG as some positions have been filled outside of the NRMP Match. The average match rate for all applicants in categorical MGG (87%) has been higher than that for Peds-MGG (52%). CONCLUSION: Growth in applicants to combined programs and matriculation into residency programs after the NRMP Match has been promising; however, these increases are not enough to fulfill growing workforce demands.
On May 4, 1996, a conference sponsored jointly by the Division of Medicine of the Health Resources and Services Administration and the Ambulatory Pediatric Association brought together pediatric educators from academic medical centers and managed care organizations to address the challenges and opportunities for pediatric residency training, given current trends toward increasing managed care for children. This supplement is designed to bring the issues discussed there to a broader audience of pediatricians and educators. The contributions are written by the participants of that conference, with invited commentaries to add additional perspectives on each topic. The papers were reviewed by an editorial board of leaders in pediatric education with experience in relevant areas. This introduction describes the impetus for the conference and highlights a number of critical issues facing pediatric postgraduate training that are presented in greater depth in the contributions that follow. Finally, this paper summarizes the recommendations of the conference for meeting the challenges of training pediatricians in these areas.
