ALBANY, N.Y. – More doctors who attended high school and medical school in New York are choosing to stay in the state, according to a new report from the University at Albany’s Center for Health Workforce Studies (CHWS).
Like in most states, New York’s health care workforce needs support. But the number of homegrown doctors staying put is on the rise.
“It’s challenging for us to recruit to many specialties,” said St. Peter’s Health Partners Acute Care Chief Medical Officer Dr. Nicholas Montalto. “But it’s heartening.”
The percentage of physicians staying in New York after training has steadily increased over the past decade from 45% in 2015 to 52% in 2024.
