Hello all,
My wife is an internal medicine resident and has her heart set on a Pulm/CC fellowship. We are currently living in South Texas (RGV), and I am doing quite well at the moment there, but there are no fellowship opportunities in the area, nor do we really want to stay there long term anyway. I finished residency relatively recently (about 1.5 year ago) and one of the things that I have enjoyed about being in Texas is the excellent medical malpractice law/environment. However, there are only so many Pulm/CC programs in Texas. So, I'm trying to come up with a list of states that would be friendly in a medical malpractice sense, which is really my #1 consideration (haven't been sued, and have no interest in being sued). I know about the AAEM State by State article, but it was published a few years ago, so I'm not sure it's still completely accurate and up to date. A secondary consideration is some sort of nature... would be nice to have some trees here and there, which aren't exactly prevalent in the desert down here.
Appreciate any responses!
