The study, led by researchers from Stanford (Calif.) University School of Medicine and the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston, was based on a survey of 18,719 academic physicians between October 2019 and July 2021. The study found that 32.6% of respondents planned to leave their institutions within the next two years.
Factors linked to this intention to leave included burnout and lack of professional fulfillment, with 37.9% of respondents meeting the criteria for burnout and only 39.3% reporting feeling professional fulfillment at their current institutions.
At the Becker’s 32nd Annual Meeting: The Business and Operations of ASCs, taking place October 29-31 in Chicago, ASC leaders, surgeons and healthcare executives will explore strategies to drive growth, enhance operational performance, navigate reimbursement challenges and prepare for the future of ambulatory surgery.
