Connecticut wants to hold on to doctors trained in the state

HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) - Connecticut officials are looking for ways to keep new doctors from leaving to practice in other states.

A 2015 report shows just 1 in 5 medical school graduates in Connecticut decided to remain in the state, ranking it 41 out of 50 states in new-graduate retention.

House Majority Leader Joe Aresimowicz (ehr-eh-SIM'-oh-wits), next year's expected Speaker of the House, says he and other legislators expect to convene a working group of experts in January to review issues surrounding doctor retention and ways to help the medical industry.
