Objective:

To identify the best states for retiring physicians seeking part-time practice opportunities and favorable living conditions.

Approach:

Key Findings:

• Maine is appealing for its high percentage of residents aged 65 and older and IMLC participation, despite a smaller healthcare market.
• New Hampshire has a strong tax and licensing profile but ranks lower due to high cost of living.

Interpretation:

The selected states provide a mix of favorable tax conditions, healthcare market opportunities, and supportive licensing frameworks that align with the needs of retiring physicians seeking continued professional engagement.

Limitations:

• Some states, like Idaho and Nevada, have smaller healthcare markets, which may limit part-time opportunities.

Conclusion:

Retiring physicians should consider these states for a balanced lifestyle and continued professional engagement.
