Figure 1. Subspecialty programs sponsored by academic medical center hospitals or major teaching hospitals that accepted fellows interested in the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM) Research Pathway and provided opportunities to pursue formal course work leading to an advanced degree in 1998–1999 and 1999–2000. Considerably more programs sponsored by academic medical center hospitals planned to accept persons interested in pursuing the new ABIM Research Pathway and to provide opportunities for fellows to obtain an advanced degree. Each key at the bottom of the figure corresponds to the two bar graphs above it.
