Same State Birth To Practice Tables

Same State Birth to Practice Tables

Robert C. Bowman, M.D.

Medical school connections to practice are not as important as residency connections regarding retention in practice in a state, but again some states and schools do better than expected from geography, Mercer, U TN, LSU, Arkansas, Indiana. This suggests a coordinated effort between various levels of education.

Admissions and/or Geography can have an impact on distribution and retention in the pipeline, as well as recruitment into rural practice locations. The first table involves those who have birth, medical school, residency, and practice in the same state.

Geography is a factor in Puerto Rico and California, however some schools tend to select students that are likely to be same state x 4, and rural practice is a common end point.
