Among the individual physician deactivations, Internal Medicine was the most frequent specialty, representing 5 deactivations, or 38% of the total. Other specialties with single deactivations included Addiction Medicine (Psychiatry & Neurology), Dermatology, Rheumatology, and Cornea and External Diseases Specialist, each accounting for 8% of the total. Geographically, New York City recorded 2 deactivations, while Amityville, Utica, Congers, and Rochester each saw 1 deactivation.
