Abstract
PHYSICIAN CAREER satisfaction and morale has received great attention recently.1-8 There are reasons for this attention. First, physicians who are satisfied with their careers are likely to provide better health care than dissatisfied physicians. Physician satisfaction has been found to strongly correlate with patient satisfaction.7 Second, high physician satisfaction is also likely to result from good outcomes with patients.8 Satisfaction, therefore, may be an indirect measure of patient outcomes.
