We aimed to highlight the complexity of the field of clinical infectious diseases compared with other medical specialties. Using available metrics, the body of knowledge within clinical infectious diseases is comparatively large and complex. This increasing complexity is underappreciated by current physician compensation schemes, needs to be carefully managed to educate future physicians, and may serve as a barrier to recruitment into the field.
我们旨在强调临床传染病领域相较于其他医学专科的复杂性。根据现有指标,临床传染病领域的知识体量较大且较为复杂。当前的医生薪酬方案并未充分认识到这种日益增加的复杂性,需要谨慎管理以培养未来的医生,并且这可能成为吸引人才进入该领域的障碍。
