About the Maps

These maps provide a visual overview of surgical workforce distribution and related health care facilities. Depending on the selected map, data may be displayed using population-based rates and geographic boundaries appropriate to the selected level of analysis.

The maps are intended to support workforce planning, research, education, and discussions about access to surgical care. They should be interpreted alongside local context and the accompanying data definitions and methodology.
