Fox News
Post-COVID, there's an "urgent need to attend to physicians," said the American Medical Association, given that doctor burnout spiked badly during the first two years of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Dr. Tait Shanafelt, professor of medicine and chief wellness officer at Stanford Medicine in Calif., has been leading a study that examines well-being among physicians and workers in all other fields in the U.S over three-year intervals, starting in 2011. "The highest rate of suicide is among physicians, so recognizing the early signs of physician burnout and providing resources to alleviate physician fatigue is critical."
The next one is scheduled for the fall 2023.
