Dermatologist job satisfaction
Facts at your Fingertips
By Emily Margosian, assistant editor, August 1, 2019
Despite rising burnout rates among all physicians, according to the AAD 2019 Life in Practice Study, the vast majority of dermatologists still enjoy what they do.

(See June’s Facts at Your Fingertips for more on dermatology management and practice ownership trends at staging.aad.org/dw/monthly/2019/june/despite-concerns-dermatologists-retain-primary-control-of-their-practices.)
