Data in Brief: Unionization of Internal Medicine Resident Physicians

Data in Brief highlights key results gathered by recent Alliance data gathering. Watch for a monthly email with new featured data.

This month’s Data in Brief illustrates the extent to which internal medicine residents are unionized, based on the most recently available data. Nearly 14% of IM residency program directors reported that their trainees belong to a resident and fellow labor union. Unionization is more prevalent at larger, longer-established programs and lower among programs in the South and Midwest. 

The 2024 APDIM Annual Survey of IM PDs includes a thematic section on “Program Director Experiences with and Views on Resident Unions.” IM PDs are encouraged to complete the survey before November 1, and summary results will be available to all members in the spring.

Contact surveys@im.org if you have any questions about the results below or the 2024 APDIM Annual Survey.
