    AbstractWe project the future racial and ethnic composition of the U.S. physician workforce under different assumptions. Our projections show that reaching racial and ethnic population parity with a managed care-based requirement of 218 physicians per 100,000 population would require the number of first-year residents to roughly double for Hispanic and black physicians, triple for Native American physicians, and be reduced by about two-fifths for white physicians and two-thirds for physicians of Asian or Pacific Island origin.
