In the Medscape 2020 Compensation Report, family physicians ranked low for feeling fairly compensated, choosing their specialty again and choosing medicine again. However, the Medscape data may not represent military family physicians.
A large survey was emailed to 2,562 military family physicians via a military professional organization list-serve from February to April 2021. The inquiry included 6 statements pertaining to professional satisfaction. The main outcome measures were proportions of "agree" and "strongly agree." The proportions were compared to the Medscape Compensation Report 2020 and 2022. Statistical analysis was completed with a two-tailed Z-score for 2 populations.
Sixty-one percent of military family physicians feel fairly compensated compared to 54% of civilian family physicians in 2020 and 55% in 2022 (P = .065, .119). Eighty-six percent of military family physicians would reselect medicine compared to 74% of civilian family physicians in 2020 and 73% in 2022 (P < .001 for both). Eighty percent of military family physicians would reselect their specialty again compared to 70% of civilians in 2020 and 68% in 2022 (P = .004, P = .001, respectively).
Military family physicians were more likely to choose medicine generally and family medicine specifically again. Military family physicians and civilian family physicians do not statistically differ in feeling fairly compensated. A strong majority of military family physicians are satisfied with their military-sponsored medical education.
在《2020 年美州医师在线薪酬报告》中,家庭医生对薪酬感到公平的比例较低,再次选择他们的专业和再次选择医学的比例也较低。然而,美州医师在线的数据可能无法代表军队家庭医生。
2021 年 2 月至 4 月,通过一个军事专业组织的邮件列表向 2562 名军队家庭医生发送了一份大型调查。调查包括 6 个与职业满意度相关的陈述。主要观察指标为“同意”和“强烈同意”的比例。这些比例与 2020 年和 2022 年美州医师在线薪酬报告进行了比较。使用双尾 Z 检验对 2 个群体进行了统计分析。
61%的军队家庭医生感到薪酬公平,而 2020 年和 2022 年的平民家庭医生这一比例分别为 54%和 55%(P=0.065,0.119)。86%的军队家庭医生会再次选择医学,而 2020 年和 2022 年的平民家庭医生这一比例分别为 74%和 73%(两者均<0.001)。80%的军队家庭医生会再次选择他们的专业,而 2020 年和 2022 年的平民家庭医生这一比例分别为 70%和 68%(P=0.004,P=0.001)。
军队家庭医生更有可能再次选择医学,更有可能再次选择家庭医学。军队家庭医生和平民家庭医生在薪酬公平感方面没有统计学差异。绝大多数军队家庭医生对军队资助的医学教育感到满意。
