The annual Medscape Burnout Survey is out and the news this year is – again – somber. More than 15,000 physicians were surveyed in 29 specialties, and 44% of the respondents reported feeling burned out. Urologists made a jump up to the number one burnout specialty with a rate of 54% – with neurologists close behind at 53%. My field of emergency medicine was at 48%, compared to 45% last year. (Click here to see the 2018 Medscape Burnout Survey.) Women are more burned out than men at 50% versus 39%.
For the brave of heart, take a look at all of the 2019 results here.
