The survey, conducted Feb. 7-19, included more than 500 U.S. physicians, nearly 450 of which practice patient care at present.
Here are five survey findings.
1. Seventy-five percent of respondents said nonclinical skills are more important than they were previously due to the fast pace of healthcare industry changes, according to the survey.
2. A vast majority (68 percent) of currently practicing physicians cited “better work-life balance” among their career goals.
3. Physicians also cited “pursuing corporate or consulting roles” (39 percent) and “adding administrative responsibilities” (38 percent) as their top career goals.
4. Nearly 50 percent of respondents said skills such as business, finance, productivity and practice management are needed to successfully achieve their top career goals.
5. Starting a practice themselves was only a top career goal for 9 percent of respondents.
