The consumer finance website WalletHub has released a list of best states for doctors in the U.S., and Kansas does pretty well. WalletHub compared the 50 states and the District of Columbia across 19 key metrics. The data sets ranged from the average annual wage of physicians, to hospitals per capita, to the cost of medical malpractice insurance.
The top state in the country was found to be Montana. Minnesota came in at number two, followed by Idaho and Wisconsin. At number five in the country... Kansas. The state is ninth in projected physicians per capita by 2028, and ninth in hospitals per capita. It's also 16th in average annual wage of physicians, after adjusting for the cost of living.
