The American Medical Association is calling on Congress and the public health bureaucracy to tackle the"insidious crisis" of physician burnout that is leading to an ever-growing national physician shortage.
Researchers from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued a report on Tuesday that found nearly half of all healthcare workers, including physicians, reported feeling burned out in 2022. Ehrenfeld opened his speech with a personal anecdote of a friend and colleague"who felt the weight of the pandemic on his shoulders" while working as an emergency room physician in California and took his own life due to resultant depression and anxiety.
"I don’t know many businesses in any industry that could withstand a 26% drop in revenue and still survive," said Ehrenfeld."Meanwhile, we’ve seen high inflation, rising personnel costs, and increased practice costs that exacerbate these payment cuts."
