ABOUT THE BOOK
In the tumultuous landscape of modern healthcare, a quiet but significant trend is emerging - US physicians are leaving direct patient care in unprecedented numbers. Whether it's to cut back on hours, explore alternative career paths while still making a positive impact, or even bid farewell to medicine altogether, these departures are reshaping the medical profession.
But what if these departing physicians were given the chance to voice their experiences and insights? What if they could sit down for an exit interview, shedding light on their reasons for leaving, their unspoken frustrations, and their hopes for the future of medicine?
"The Doctor Is No Longer In" delves into this crucial conversation. Authored by seasoned medical professionals,
Drs. MaryAnn Wilbur and Katherine Rieth, this book offers a poignant exploration of the untold stories behind physician departures. Through candid interviews, personal anecdotes, and expert analysis, Wilbur and Rieth invite readers into the inner world of departing physicians, revealing the complex factors driving their decisions and the implications for healthcare as a whole.
Whether you're a healthcare professional seeking to understand the evolving landscape of medicine, a policymaker striving to address physician burnout and retention, or simply a curious reader intrigued by the human stories behind the headlines, "The Doctor Is No Longer In" offers a compelling and insightful journey.
