- Valuing work gives meaning (money, appreciation)
- Autonomy gives feeling of control
- Managing burden prevents overwork, exhaustion and fatigue
I have issues when someone says a complicated issue can be solved easily…realistic expectations…
It reminds me of the famous "just eat less and exercise more", the alleged simple solution to the global obesity epidemic.
The bottleneck right now in producing more US physicians is lack of Medicare funding for residency slots (graduate medical education). Every year some students graduate from accredited medical schools with an MD but are unable to practice because they don't get matched to a residency program. Congress hasn't significantly increased funding in years.
Also this is a global problem, not just the USA. You look at videos of student doctors in the UK for example and there are similar abusive schedules. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KE1XwEMGm0I
It doesn't seem to be such a big problem here in Norway where things like working time directives are taken much more seriously.
