Georgia’s healthcare system faces challenges which locum tenens anesthesiologists can help address. The state falls in the bottom quintile of U.S. News and World Report’s annual healthcare ranking, which measures how well states are meeting citizens’ healthcare needs. The report ranks states based on three benchmarks, including access to care, quality of care, and overall health of the population. Additionally, Georgia ranks 48th in clinical care (an assessment of access to quality healthcare and preventive services) in the America’s Health Rankings^® 2021 Annual Report from United Health Foundation.

Despite these challenges, Georgia is making important strides in improving healthcare for residents. The state has five medical schools, public health departments in all 159 counties, and high-quality hospitals in metro areas. Further, the state participates in the Interstate Medical Licensure Compact (IMLC), an agreement among participating states to streamline the licensing process for physicians who want to practice in multiple states.

From state parks and beautiful beaches to charming towns and historical sites, Georgia offers plenty to explore during your time away from work:

Florida ranks 41st on The Commonwealth Fund’s 2020 Scorecard on State Health System Performance.

5. U.S. Virgin Islands

For anesthesiologists desiring to apply their skills in medically underserved areas, the natural beauty of the U.S. Virgin Islands should be at the top of your list.

On many important health measures, the USVI compares poorly to the health status of Americans living on the mainland. Access to quality health services is a primary challenge facing USVI residents. Further, cultural and economic barriers prevent residents from taking full advantage of available health services. Adults living in the USVI are two and a half times more likely to be uninsured than adults living in the 50 states and DC.

In your spare time, relax or adventure at any of the USVI’s stunning beaches or explore the past at historical sites.
