The percentage of physicians who go on to practice in New York State after completing their residency training continues to climb.
A recent analysis conducted by the Center for Health Workforce Studies at the University at Albany’s College of Integrated Health Sciences examined findings from their most recent New York Resident Exit Survey. They found that 52% of newly trained physicians with confirmed practice plans reported plans to stay in New York, marking a steady increase from 45% in 2015.
“A rising in-state retention rate suggests that more physicians see long-term opportunity in New York’s health care system,” said David Armstrong, Center for Health Workforce Studies Project Director. “This is encouraging news for a state that invests heavily in graduate medical education and depends on a robust physician workforce to meet population health needs.”
