description This study analyzes in-state retention rates at Penn State University (PSU) and nationally. Data were taken from the PSU handbook with location information of graduated residents and compared to data from the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC). The retention rate at PSU was lower than that nationally in all but three specialties. PSU retention rate was lower than that of Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania’s retention rate was lower than the national average. Community size and physician per capita may play a role in graduating resident retention rate.
