Overall gender split — all active individual NPIs
Snapshot of every active individual provider in the NPPES NPI Registry (deactivated NPIs excluded).
Gender skew spectrum — 15 most female and 15 most male classifications
All classifications with at least 500 F+M active individuals, ranked by % female. Bars centered on 50% — coral = female-skewed, blue = male-skewed. Number on the right is total active providers.
Top 25 classifications by active provider count — F/M split
Sorted by total active individuals. Bar segments show absolute F (coral) vs M (blue); hover for the % female of (F+M). The largest classifications are overwhelmingly female, which explains the aggregate skew.

Caveats:
Each point is the trailing 4-quarter average — so the trend series starts at Q4‑2015 (first quarter with a full look-back window).
Q2‑2018 → Q2‑2019 contains a documented gap in the NPPES weekly file history (includes the longest govt shutdown); it pulls down rolling averages for ~4 quarters even after smoothing.
Non-binary registrations jumped from ~2/quarter to thousands in Q4‑2025.
The category has technically been valid since 2015 (first appearance 2015‑03‑16) but was effectively unused until April 2024
— the recent ramp likely reflects NPPES form/UX changes making the option more visible, not a sudden demographic shift.
Only providers still present in the NPPES registry snapshot are counted (deactivated entries are retained, so coverage is near-complete for historical registrations).
