↵* Excluding visa trainees, includes fellows and residents.
↵a During this time period CAPER data do not report a breakdown of residents versus fellows based on citizenship status that was available in its reports.
↵b CCAR data do not specify citizenship of trainees and include only 2 years of training. Where data were presented in graphical form, numbers were extracted by estimation of the nearest whole number.
↵c The PedsCRA survey enumerated residents in 13 programs only and counted up to 4 years of training in the program (funding sources were not specified, nor was citizenship). The Canadian Medical Association also reports on rheumatology trainees, but the 2014 file includes data from CAPER 2012/13.
