Physicians are facing an unprecedented burnout crisis.
Medical Economics recently completed our 2020 Physician Burnout survey, and the results show that physicians are facing an unprecedented crisis.
91% of physicians we surveyed told us they have felt burned out at some point in their career. More than 70% said they were burned out in the last year.
And then COVID-19 happened.
So what should we do about physician burnout? How can we create a health care system that supports our physicians?
