Physician and Advanced Practice Clinician Burnout in Rural and Urban Settings

CONCLUSIONS: Burnout was comparable between rural and urban physicians and APCs. Part-time work was associated with decreased burnout in rural and family practice clinicians. Addressing burnout drivers (stress, workload control, chaos) may improve rural work environments, reduce turnover, and aid rural clinician recruitment. Addressing stress may be particularly impactful in family practice.PMID:38448238 | DOI:10.3122/jabfm.2023.230233R1
