NOTES: Data on the number of physicians in patient care per 100,000 resident population are calculated using 2010-based postcensal estimates. Data include professionally active doctors of medicine (M.D.s) and doctors of osteopathy (D.O.s) only. Data exclude physicians in medical teaching, administration, research, and other nonpatient care activities but include physicians in residency. Map data are displayed by a modified Jenks classification for the 50 states and District of Columbia, which creates categories that minimize within-group variation and maximize between-group variation. See Technical Notes for more information on Jenks classification.
