The supply projections include the increase in graduate medical education (GME) positions due to the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021.In addition, the supply scenarios are modeled with and without the assumption of 1% annual growth in GME positions from state and health systemfunded increases.These scenarios provide a range of supply projections if additional resources continue to be allocated to GME or if these additional resources fail to materialize.
