Surgical Workforce Mapping

Explore Where CT Surgeons Practice

The ACS Surgical Workforce Map provides an interactive view of where cardiothoracic surgeons and surgical facilities are located across the United States. Developed as part of the American College of Surgeons (ACS) Surgical Workforce Distribution Mapping Project, the resources include interactive and downloadable maps showing workforce distribution by county, Hospital Referral Region (HRR), and Core-Based Statistical Area (CBSA), along with locations of hospital and ambulatory surgical center locations.

Why Workforce Data Matters

• Understanding where CT surgeons practice can help identify geographic variations in access to care and inform workforce planning, advocacy, research, education, and discussions about cardiothoracic surgical care in underserved communities.
