A recent survey of 3,729 family care physicians found that 40.3% considered leaving their primary care practices, with 16.5% reporting that 2010 was the first year they had considered such a career change.

“The poll results are not surprising given the rising financial pressures for family practices,” said Craig Overpeck, chief operating officer of M3 Global Research.

“Only 15.6% hold out hope of 2011 being a better than average year for their personal income, with 17.7% forecasting 2011 to be one of the worst earning years of their career. The survey also reported only three out of five physicians enjoying better job satisfaction than they anticipated on their first day in medical school.”
