How this was built

Medical school comes from the CMS Doctors and Clinicians file, which covers clinicians enrolled in Medicare rather than every provider in the country.

64% of records list the school as "OTHER" — 1,044,686 clinicians. CMS uses that for schools outside its coded list, which in practice means most foreign-trained physicians. They are excluded from this chart entirely, so read it as a ranking of US schools rather than of where American doctors trained.

A school's mix reflects who enrols in Medicare, not who graduates.
