Massachusetts is not only a great state to be a family and general practitioner, it is also one of the best states to take up medicine. This just makes this state one of the best ones to consider moving to once you have finally decided to be a doctor. They offer the seventh highest wages for family and general practitioners, but their expensive cost of living rates usually discourage people from living there. The wages and employment rates might still be worth it, though.
