Moreover, only 35 percent of participating physicians whose income increased say they are very likely to recommend a career in the field to a young person, according to the report.

Physicians seem less likely to recommend a career in the medical field due to the impacts of decreasing reimbursements, billing and collection hassles and lifestyle choices, according to the report.

A total of 1,527 physicians participated in the survey conducted between April 18 and June 5.
