In a recent CMA study, nearly 44% of U.S. doctors reported one or more symptom of burnout, depression, or both. One in five doctors reported they’ll reduce clinical hours over the next two years, while one in 50 said they plan to quit medicine for a different career. Physicians are at 50%-300% increased risk for death by suicide compared to professionals in other fields. Physician burnout is costing the nation’s hospitals and health systems $1.7 billion per year, according to the National Taskforce for Humanity in Healthcare.
