Half of med school grads turned off by Illinois: Malpractice laws chasing docs from Illinois

The Chicago Sun-Times reports:

A new study says that half of all graduating medical residents or fellows trained in Illinois are leaving the state to practice elsewhere, a trend researchers blame in part on the state's "toxic" medical malpractice environment.

Researchers from Northwestern University's Feinberg School of Medicine asked 561 Illinois medical students where they intended to practice after graduation and why.
