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.

BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to analyze the outcome of the latest groups of pneumologists trained in hospitals in Catalonia, Spain, and to compare these results with international estimate rates on the need for pneumologists. METHODS: Information was collected by a self-administered closed response questionnaire which was filled out during the first trimester of 1994 by the pneumologists trained in hospitals in Catalonia from 1989 to 1993. RESULTS: One hundred percent response to the questionnaire was achieved (48 pneumologists). The first job following completion of resident training period consisted in being grant holders in the same department in 27 cases (56%), 15 (31%) received a contract as pneumologists, 2 (4%) as non-pneumologists physicians and 4 (8%) became unemployed. When the periods of 1989-1990 and 1992-1993 were compared, in the latter only 2/26 pneumologists directly obtained a contract on termination of training versus 13/22 from the former period (p < 0.0003). Half of the new pneumologists (24/48) performed other complementary labor activities, the most frequent being the work in medical emergency areas. CONCLUSIONS. Despite the importance of the respiratory diseases in health care, there is an increase in the number of pneumologists with difficulties in working in his specialty. This situation shows the need for searching for secondary professional activities. This fact, together with the scarce of promotion of specialized medical care, may enhance the risk of health care quality in respiratory diseases not improving to the desired level.
