Future prospects for Jordanian and overseas medical graduates
The member of the Jordanian Medical Association, Dr. Mohamed Hassan Al-Traweeneh, explained that approximately 43,000 students are studying medicine in Jordan and abroad, representing 87% of the total registered doctors in the association since its establishment 75 years ago. He pointed out a significant gap between the number of medical graduates and the available residency programs, noting that about 4,454 doctors graduate annually, compared to only 1,040 residency seats. This results in an annual accumulation of about two doctors without specialization, and he predicts that this number will double to reach 99,000 doctors by 2036. Al-Traweeneh called for decision-making based on accurate data and forward planning to ensure the sustainability of the healthcare sector and to safeguard the future of students.
