How is a 26.1 per capita calculated? Various unrelated sources state that there are 1.1M physicians (MD and DO) in the US. The US has a population of 360M?
It's per capita * 10,000. 26.1 doctors per citizen would definitely be a surprising standard of care.
26.1 / 10000 * 336M Americans = 876960 active physicians, and the error is probably a measurement artifact (how do you define 'active physician') and the fact that both the population and number of doctors vary over time.
