After the Match: What Comes Next?
Match Day may determine where physicians begin their training, but what influences where they go next? Despite record-breaking Match Day numbers in 2025, critical workforce gaps persist across the U.S., especially in high-demand specialties. How can you optimize your recruiting strategy accordingly?
A new white paper from PracticeMatch reveals insights drawn from proprietary physician data collected in collaboration with MIT. It examines how factors like residency location, specialty, and even family ties influence physicians' first job choices, and how this knowledge can help recruiters plan more strategically.
