The Geographic Relationships between Physicians' Residency Sites and the Locations of Their First Practices.

Dorner, Fred H.; And Others

Academic Medicine, v66 n9 p540-44 Sep 1991

A study of the distances between physicians' (n=2,612) residency program locations and first practice locations indicates that most moved less than 75 miles. Primary care physicians moved significantly shorter distances than did other specialists. This pattern has changed little over the last few decades. (Author/MSE)
