Description

The American Medical Association Alliance (AMAA) conducted the Physician Family Experience Survey in early 2023.There has been an increase in physician burnout and suicide; suicide for physicians being at a higher rate than that of the general public. This is shown with 1 out of 10 physicians attempting considering suicide in 2021(7).

Literature has indicated that physician burnout leads to secondary burnout in the physician family (4).This survey sought to understand the current state of the physician family experience and compare this with historical studies through statistical analysis. This statistical study aims to identify and model predictors of life satisfaction among physician families via standard tests, modeling and item response theory
