Physicians are facing the same economic and compensation pressures as the broader workforce with inflation putting a squeeze on doctors’ real income.
Average physician pay fell by 2.4% from 2021 to 2022, and that decline in physician compensation comes at a time when U.S. healthcare workers are facing significant challenges, including economic strains, a growing physician shortage issue and high rates of work-related burnout, according to the sixth annual Physician Compensation Report from professional medical network Doximity.
