She hopes to determine whether demographic and/or financial background have an impact on physician burnout or limited joy in practice. They are asking TCMS members to complete a short survey (about 5 minutes) that asks a few financial and demographic questions and consists of an abbreviated Maslach Burnout Inventory questionnaire. Thank you in advance for taking the time to help with her research. Complete the Survey here.
