While doctors are one of the highest-paid and most respected professional groups in the U.S., their quality of life can still vary depending on where they practice.
To pinpoint where doctors have the best (and worst) opportunities, WalletHub ranked the 50 states and the District of Columbia based on 19 metrics, such as physician’s average annual wages, hospitals per capita, insured population rate, quality of public hospital systems and physician burnout. Each state was scored out of 100 points, with Montana taking the number one spot at 73 points, while Hawaii placed last at just under 42 points.
