Im in school in Louisiana where there is a big push to improve the state healthcare ranking from 49/50 to 40 in the next 10 or so years.
Nation wide, over 50% of doctors stay in the same state they did their residency training in. So if you get the resident, chances are you get a doctor in the long term. You want residents to do their training in your state.
But with the new laws, so many of my classmates are not even considering doing their residency training in Louisiana. I sure as hell dont want to. So this law is making more people seek training outside of the state and less will likely return after. Its going to end up draining even more doctors out of the already horribly health deprived state. Absolute lunacy.
We ain’t getting to 40 like this.
