To sign on as an employee or to go it alone? That's a hard decision for many physicians. MedTwitter
That's a hard decision for many physicians. On one hand, there's a steady paycheck and a chance to concentrate on patients rather than administration. On the other, there's independence and the pride of owning your own business.surveyed more than 1350 US physicians employed by healthcare organizations, hospitals, large group practices, or other medical groups to find out what they love about their jobs and what they don't.
"Running a business is something that I really wasn't trained to do in medical school and residency," he said."The prospect of opening our own business and taking out more loans in order to cover the opening of the business was daunting." Report 2022 found that burnout has a strong or severe impact on the lives of more than half of doctors and negatively affects their personal relationships.
Many employed physicians feel they don't have a voice in how their healthcare organization is run."Often, the physician comes out of the pre-hiring discussions . . . believing they will have significant management influence," said Robert C. Scroggins of ScrogginsGrear, a Cincinnati consulting firm whose clients are physicians and dentists."But it rarely unfolds that way.
Thirty-four percent of employed physicians were troubled by workplace rules, and 33% were troubled by less income potential. One respondent pointed out that employed physicians make less than private attendings do. However, employed physicians are more comfortable with their compensation ― 56% said they were satisfied or very satisfied with their incomes, up from 49% in 2014.
Physicians seem largely exempt from this concern, with 84% saying they felt their jobs were secure. Despite the feelings of security, most of the doctors surveyed didn't seem to be in for the long haul; 68% reported that they didn't expect their relationship with the organization they work for to last another 10 years. This could reflect the aging of the US physician population, but it could also be the result of pervasive burnout.
