I realize we have varying opinions about Medscape surveys, but I figured there might be some interesting comments to what they published. The 2016 lifestyle survey was posted a week ago, and I just now saw it.
Public link: http://www.medscape.com/features/slideshow/lifestyle/2016/public/overview (login and switch to EM for EM-centric results)
As always, the "burned out" results had us tied at the top for "most burned out" -- but then near the bottom for severity of burnout. Not trying to turn this into another burnout thread. Whatever.
More interestingly, relative happiness:
- Outside of work: EM was #6 of 25 at 63% (nephrology, #1, at 68%; critical care, #25, at 50%)
- At work: EM was #21 of 25 at 27% (derm, #1, at 39%; IM, #25, at 24%)
Some results about biases and some other odds and ends in there.
I'm not a huge proponent of their surveys, but they're worth a read.
Discuss. Or not.
