New York is 2024’s 5th Worst State for Physicians
New York has emerged as 2024’s 5th worst state for doctors. Here’s a glance at the numbers:
- Overall Rank: 47th
- Income Adjusted for Cost of Living: 42nd for annual wages, but 17th for starting salaries.
- Access to Healthcare: At the bottom, with the lowest hospitals per capita.
- The Future in Numbers: By 2030, we’ll have a 47th rank in physician per capita amidst an aging population (28th in the percentage of the population aged 65 and older).
- Navigating the System: Our state medical board’s punitiveness ranks 45th, combined with the nation’s highest annual malpractice liability insurance rates.
These figures are numbers and stories of the hurdles we navigate daily. Yet, within these challenges lies an unparalleled opportunity for change. It’s time we turn these insights into action.
