- Unhappy Doctors Provide Roadmap for Recruiting, Retention
A just-released and comprehensive survey from The Physicians’ Foundation of more than 12,000 primary care physicians in the United States found some troubling—but not entirely surprising—results. America’s primary care physicians are very, very unhappy.
Anyone in the physician recruiting business would be advised to take a look at the survey, which was compiled this summer, because it provides a good roadmap for recruiting and retaining.
It’s about time someone wrote this blog. If we do not pay attention to what is bothering our doctors now, we may not have doctors to be bothered later. More will leave their practices, cut down on their caseload, stop seeing Medicaid/Medicare patients or will just plain find another field.
