Hospitals nation wide are struggling with a physician shortage while patient demand is increasing, according to several recent news reports. Some states struggle more than others because their medical graduates move out of state after completing training.

"Doctors who complete medical school and residencies in the same state are most likely to stay and practice in that state," according to an Association of American Medical Colleges study published in the January 28 issue of amednews.com, by the American Medical Association.

The following list identifies the median percentage of how many active physicians stay in-state after training:

67.3% = completed medical school and residency in the state
45.2% = graduated from a public medical school in the state
45.0% = completed their residency or fellowship in the state
39.7% = graduated from any medical school in the state
