The “2024 Internal Medicine Practice Issues Report” by Medscape Medical News found that only about 1 in 6 internal medicine specialists prioritize compensation over workplace culture. Most internists believe that employers can create a positive and supportive environment while managing patient needs and administrative tasks. According to the report, 77% of respondents believe that medical employers can maintain a supportive workplace. To address these issues, coordination between employers and insurers is necessary. Douglas Paauw, MD, notes that while compensation may attract physicians initially, workplace culture becomes more important for retention. Overall, a supportive workplace environment is crucial for retaining physicians in the long term.
