The AMA surveyed more than 12,400 physicians across 31 states from 81 health systems and organizations in 2023 to determine physician engagement, satisfaction, stress and burnout rates.
While 48.2% of physicians reported experiencing at least one burnout symptom, down from 53% in 2022, female physicians reported much higher rates of burnout, reaching 54.5%, compared to 42% of men.
Female physicians were also less likely to feel valued than their male counterparts, at 45.8% and 56.3%, respectively.
Additionally, 71.7% of female physicians said they felt satisfied with their jobs, compared with 73.9% of their male colleagues.
However, fewer female physicians said they intend to leave their current roles, with 33.2% planning a departure compared to 35.9% of men.
