Al-Tarawneh: 23,000 in country's med schools
The Jordanian Medical Association report indicates that the number of medical students studying in Jordan is 23,000 domestically and 20,000 abroad, totaling 43,000 students. This represents approximately 87% of all registered physicians in the association since its establishment 75 years ago. The data points to a significant gap between the number of graduating doctors and the availability of residency positions, with about 4,454 doctors expected to graduate in 2025 despite only 1,040 spots available for specialization. This results in a backlog of approximately 34,040 doctors without specialization over the next ten years. The report calls for informed decision-making and strategic planning to address the increasing number of physicians and to provide adequate specialization opportunities, thereby ensuring the sustainability of Jordan's healthcare sector.
