Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

International medical graduates (IMGs) make up roughly one quarter of the U.S. physician supply and residency training positions. Commentary related to IMGs tends to project a continuing rise in supply over time. This study wanted to challenge these perceptions by disaggregating IMGs by immigration and citizenship status to carefully examine their numerical levels and choices in training specialty and location during a 10-year period. The results demonstrate a shrinking IMG population overall for the state of New York, with noncitizen IMGs shrinking the most markedly. This may bear heavily on New York's physician supply and distribution, particularly for underserved locales. The authors find evidence consistent with some degree of substitution in favor of native-born and naturalized IMGs versus noncitizen IMGs.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
