Improving the Satisfaction and Well-Being of Incoming Primary Care Physicians: Sharing the Practical Wisdom of Retired Physicians via Visual Challenge Cards
| | abstract |
The decreased well-being of primary care physicians (PCPs) in our health care system over the last few decades has been of increasing concern to many. To obtain improved insight into the experiences with their professional dissatisfaction and decreased personal well-being following a literature review, a qualitative study was conducted through in-depth interviews with 10 retired PCPs. These experienced physicians shared insights into the vulnerabilities they encountered throughout their careers in primary care. Drawing on arts-informed research methods, the study findings were translated into visual challenge cards. These cards can serve as a valuable pedagogical tool for aspiring PCPs, allowing them to learn from the experiences of their retired peers and potentially mitigate the challenges that have plagued previous generations of PCPs.
