They interview four physicians, who describe some of the challenges, but also are clearly enthusiastic about the rewards. Here’s a notable quote:

If it’s not yet apparent, all four of these doctors highly recommend moving from employment to private practice when possible. The autonomy and the improved work-life balance have helped them find the satisfaction they’d been missing while making burnout less likely.

“When you don’t have to spend 30% of your day apologizing to patients for how bad the healthcare system is, it reignites your passion for why you went into medicine in the first place,” says Maniya. [SNIP]

Needless to say, this is exactly why we created MedCoShare. Autonomy, work-life balance, the flexibility to set your own schedule… we think that happier providers are also more effective, and deliver better patient care.
