Physician Burnout

Category: healthcare

The physical and emotional exhaustion caused by overwhelming administrative work and time pressure.

Burnout is the "DPC catalyst." Doctors are fleeing traditional insurance-based systems because they feel like "data-entry clerks." DPC restores the doctor-patient relationship, which is the single most powerful tool for reducing physician burnout in the modern era.

Common Examples

• Our DPC practice was founded on the principle of ending physician burnout by providing clinicians the time they need to truly listen to patients.
• Restoring the joy of practice is a core objective of the DPC movement, as it directly combats the systemic crisis of physician burnout.
