A new report from AMA Wire touches on the most important considerations for new physicians as they decide which geographic location to settle in:

• Location size
• Population — does it fluctuate or is it stable?
• Proximity to a large city or urban area
• Proximity to air ports and other transportation services
• Economy — where do potential patients fall?
• Crime rate
• Housing availability
• Proximity to activities and hobbies
• School quality for children
• Employment opportunities for your husband/wife
• Proximity to family members

The AMA’s Health Care Workforce Mapper can show different regions and need for your specialty as well.
