This report examines first-year medical school matriculants over the past decade and projects first-year matriculants through 2028.

Based on results from the 17th annual AAMC Survey of Medical School Enrollment Plans, this report presents detailed findings such as the following:  

• U.S. medical school enrollment has grown 35% since academic year 2002-2003; the 30% growth target continues to be surpassed.  
• Concern about the availability of graduate medical education opportunities at state and national levels continues to decrease but remains at more than 30% of schools. 
• MD-granting schools implemented accommodations for students in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. 
• Schools continue to implement strategies to recruit students from diverse backgrounds. 
• Enrollment increases at DO-granting schools continue.
