Abstract

Differences in origins are important to understand because major data sources have different measures of origins. The most extensive source of data is the American Medical Association Masterfile and birth origins can be coded for 95% of United States allopathic medical students 1 . High school location data is nearly 100% available from medical school admission materials that are also collected nationally by medical education associations. The Masterfile is the best secondary source of career and location outcomes, but it does not include high school location data. Admission databases have no career or practice location data. Studies need to compare birth origin data with high school data to allow some understanding of the geographic differences present in the two background measures.
