A new study suggests more doctors are choosing to practice in New York after completing their residencies.
Researchers at the University at Albany found that 52% of newly trained physicians plan to stay in the state. That’s up from 45% just a decade ago.
Retention rates were highest among doctors with strong local ties and in fields like psychiatry and family medicine.
However, few new physicians said they intend to practice in rural or underserved communities. It highlights an ongoing challenge to access care.
