— New report finds pandemic burnout is still lingering
According to a survey of more than 1,700 physicians, residents, and medical students, burnout is tied to multiple factors, including mental health stigma in the medical field as well as how private equity acquisitions are changing healthcare.
The Physicians Foundation’s annual Survey of America’s Current and Future Physicians revealed this year that burnout is rampant in the workforce; six in 10 physicians and residents and seven in 10 medical students reported burnout. Before the pandemic, that statistic was four in 10 for physicians.
“The bottom line is, we still have a huge problem with physician burnout in our healthcare workforce,” Gary Price, MD, president of The Physicians Foundation, told MedPage Today.
