About 1 out of 4 Massachusetts doctors are planning to say goodbye to medicine in the next two years, according to a new survey that’s raising serious alarms about the future of the state’s physician workforce.
The survey, by Massachusetts Medical Society, has revealed concerning levels of burnout among doctors in the Bay State, an already troubling situation that was exacerbated by the grueling COVID-19 pandemic.
Of the more than 500 members who completed the Massachusetts Medical Society survey, 55% of the physicians reported that they have experienced burnout symptoms.
