Explore Public Data At a Glance

Updated

What Is Explore Public Data?
Explore Public Data gives the GME community and the public access to interactive dashboards about accredited programs and Sponsoring Institutions, and aggregate physician data. It offers insights and trends using current and historical data and reduces burden by centralizing information.

What Are the Key Benefits?
  • Instant, easy-to-read dashboards replace static PDFs.
  • Drill‑through feature provides row‑level program, Sponsoring Institution, and participating site data, all exportable within the dashboard.
  • Access historical and current academic year data in one place for easy trend analysis.
  • Provides a single, consistent experience instead of piecing together data from multiple sources.

When Is it Coming?
Phases 1 and 2 of Explore Public Data are already live. Phase 2 included a new Osteopathic Recognition dashboard, upgraded Advanced Search capabilities, and additional analytics for existing public dashboards.
