Characteristics included demographics, primary medical specialty, years of obesity medicine experience, patient population, and practice setting.

Between the 2012\u20132016 and 2017\u20132024 groups, notable differences were increases in physicians under age 40\u2009years (22.7% vs. 47.6%, respectively), women (52.8% vs. 64.0%, respectively), and practicing obesity medicine for less than 2\u2009years at initial certification (40.2% vs. 68.3%, respectively). The most common primary medical specialties were internal medicine (32.4%), family medicine (29.2%), and internal medicine subspecialties (14.2%).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We found that recent ABOM diplomates are likely entering the field earlier in their careers and with fewer years of obesity medicine experience than the initial group.
