d There is some question about the interpretation of these data since they include many trainee graduate medical programs. 1984 data are previously unpublished; AMA reports them to be to "within 100 persons" 1987 data remain unpublished.

e Data for M.D.s do NOT exclude those who may also have a Ph.D. degree. As a result, the percent M.D. awardees and percent Ph.D. awardees, can be greater than 100 %.

f The residents and clinical fellows reported here include only those in accredited programs af with medical schools.
