Erica Carbajal – 
Montana, South Dakota and Idaho are the top three places for physicians to practice in the U.S., according to a WalletHub ranking published March 20. The worst places to practice this year are Hawaii, Rhode Island and Alaska.

WalletHub’s 2023 ranking is based on comparisons across two key dimensions: opportunity and competition, and medical environment. Within those dimensions, 19 metrics are considered, including average annual wage, hospitals per capita and quality of the public health system. WalletHub calculated each state’s overall score using the weighted average across all metrics.
