[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Every time I read this threads I feel discouraged about becoming a doctor and feel like despite whatever I do it’s not worth it to anyone. That’s def making me consider retiring/ cutting back early. Also more women are entering medicine and they tend to have a higher attrition. I get it- I’m a mom and having to have emotional labor placed on me by patients and my family is tough. At the end of the day, I’ll pick my family over mg patients.[/quote] If women have higher attrition rates, shouldn't medical schools be admitting more students? From this thread we've learned that there are more insured patients creating more demand, there are more women entering medicine who are more likely to work part-time, older doctors are retiring, and electronic records and insurance demands are a drain on time. Have medical colleges and residency programs increased the number of graduates to address doctors shortages or is the supply of new doctors capped?[/quote]
