Burnout and Wellbeing

Primary care is crucial to U.S. health care, but declining. The Commonwealth Fund offers suggestions on how to invest more in it.

Physician burnout is “very disturbing,” “quite worrisome,” and “a crisis” in U.S. health care, according to three leaders of the Physicians Foundation.

Finances, practice size, autonomy, bureaucracy all factors in burnout, say Physicians Foundation leaders.

Physicians, just like the patients we serve, are facing an unprecedented emotional burden from the COVID-19 pandemic.
