Abstract
Conservative policy shifts in Southern states may be impacting how medical trainees perceive and evaluate residency programs in the region. These states already face challenges with poor health outcomes and physician shortages, and increasingly restrictive laws risk further deterring applicants from prioritizing Southern residency programs. Recent trends in residency recruitment raise urgent concerns about the physician workforce pipeline and warrant deeper study and continued public discussion.
