I wonder if there is really a difference in how female versus male physicians treat their patients. It seems like it would depend more on how the patient perceives it, but I could be wrong. Thoughts?

It makes sense that the areas of the country where large numbers of doctors want to live and practice have lower compensation due to an abundant supply of physicians. Does anyone practice in less populous states/cities, and are you happy there?

The physician shortage is concerning, at best. It looks like many are thinking about leaving or changing careers in the next 5 years. Do you fall into that category? I love practicing and have no desire to leave anytime soon, so I guess I'm a "lifer."

According to the MGMA Datadive, a third of physicians are still compensated 100% salary.

However, an increased percentage of doctors now have a quality metric component to their pay, in addition to being at least 50% salary-based.

How are you compensated?

I'd have to say I'm in the "declining median compensation" category, which is especially frustrating when factoring in the cost of living. What's the best way to negotiate a raise these days?

I couldn't agree more with this. My practice is small, but we started using online scheduling a couple of years ago and it's been a huge time-saver. What other automation do you use in your office that you would recommend?

Are these L&D closures in rural areas really from declining birth rates or do you think there's more to the story? I'm leaning toward thinking it has to do with money/reimbursements.
