title: Physicians newly licensed in RI during 1993.
abstract: The physicians newly licensed in 1993 are a well-trained cohort, typically board-certified, and in their mid-thirties. Only a minority (about 9%) were born in Rhode Island although a substantial plurality had been educated at Brown and its teaching hospitals. About one-third of these 259 physicians had never previously held medical licenses. Hence, the Rhode Island license represents their credentialled entrance into the independent practice of medicine.
