Retention rates for physicians reveal significant disparities among U.S. states. In states with the lowest retention, fewer than 40% of physicians remain after residency, while top-performing states achieve over 75%. This variation in retention is linked to various factors including healthcare salaries and medical error outcomes. The data indicates that improving retention rates is critical to addressing physician shortages and enhancing healthcare delivery.
Physician retention rates are higher than 75% in the best states, and lower than 40% in the worst, contributing to a severe doctor shortage.
Many states struggle with low physician retention rates, which exacerbate existing doctor shortages and may negatively impact healthcare outcomes.
