Main Findings
Burnout and satisfaction with work-life integration among US physician improved between 2014 and 2017. The prevalence of burnout among us physicians in 2017 is lower compared with 2011 and 2014. This is because it was possible that 2014 was a challenging time due to consolidation of hospitals and medical groups, several new regulatory factors and increased administrative burdens. Although the change in burnout is favorable, symptoms of burnout remain to be a pervasive problem and its prevalence among physicians is higher than in general US working population.
