Beginning this fall, we have begun a demographic study of the members of APSA and the physician-scientists at schools across the country. Each newsletter will present a brief window into the lives of our peers since we currently really only have one chance during the year to meet each other. The first survey that was sent out collected general demographic information about us. For this survey, we had 262 replies (Currently there are 777 APSA members), so the results of the survey reflect 34% of our membership. The following results represent data collected only from those responding to this survey. Of the respondents, over half of physician-scientists in training are males (55.9%). Most students are single, regardless of sex (66.9%). First year medical students and second year graduate students each accounted for 16.1% of the respondents.
