Note: For psychology, social work, and psychiatric nursing, the count is for clinically trained, because count is more accurate.
1 For psychiatry, the numerator of the rate is based on clinically active psychiatrists employed in the private sector and does not include residents or fellows (see AMA Physicians Characteristics 2000) and the denominator is based upon the 1998 resident population of the United States (see www.census.gov/population/estimates).
