#ICYMI, Doximity just released our 2024 Physician Compensation Report. I recently discussed key insights with Beth Greenfield from Fortune. The data highlights alarming trends: 🏃♂️ 81% of physicians feel overworked 💼 59% are contemplating job changes or early retirement 👩⚕️ The gender pay gap for doctors remains at 23% As an EM doc, I've seen the effects firsthand. Colleagues in EM, as well as other specialties, often express feeling stretched thin and, worse yet, helpless. Notably, a significant 70% call out physicians’ admin burden as a major contributor to the physician shortage issue. There's a mismatch between what we trained for and what we are actually asked to do in our day to day work. Despite finding a 6% bump in physician compensation overall, the report emphasizes the need to address: - Fair pay - Sustainable workloads - Preserving more time for patient care Read more in this coverage from Fortune and delve into Doximity's comprehensive report on the myriad challenges impacting today's physicians. #PhysicianCompensation #HealthcareTrends #Doximity https://lnkd.in/esj3D46u
Physicians are being turned into assembly line workers by our healthcare system, now more than ever.

There’s a lot of excellent information in there. I’d like to think that the physician shortage issue has much broader implications. There’s a lot that can be accomplished but hasn’t been so far!

4moInsightful article, Amit Phull. I am a very optimistic person, but over time -- particularly through medical school and residency training -- I have learned to be practical with my approach and viewpoints toward medicine. As a resident physician, I am torn. Burnout and unrealistic expectations have permeated throughout all physician career levels (and other allied healthcare professions). Is surviving thriving? I'd like to think not, but the way things are in our current healthcare system, this may be the case. We need to be innovative. We need to be creative. We need to be real. And, most importantly, we cannot settle for the "how things have always been" mindset with how we teach and practice moving forward. Our current and future generations of physicians, our families, and the patients we all provide care for, all need leaders who will step up and reverse these trends. We need leaders who will drive change; leaders who I know are out there today.
