September 2011 Physician Statistics - Physicians In and Out of State

Statistics are included for location (based on practice address), degree, number of licensees who are Texas, U.S. or foreign medical graduates, method of licensure, gender, type of license held and race/Hispanic origin*.

* We are still in the process of transitioning from ethnic origin values to federal standards for race and Hispanic origin. The transition period will allow time for individuals to submit updated race and Hispanic origin data to the TMB.

Note: to promote consistency across agency reports, the demographic reports now include licensees whose permits are expired but whose licenses have not yet been cancelled.
