Thank You to our Veterans!
Veterans Day is a federal holiday in the United States that honors military veterans of the U.S. Armed Forces. This day coincides with Armistice Day and Remembrance Day celebrated in other countries to commemorate the end of World War I.
I tried to understand how many physicians in the United States are Veterans; I could not find this answer!
I did find some interesting organizations and items of interest to consider:
The National Association of Veterans Administration Physicians and Dentists:
A study by Rinne, ST et al, found that physician burnout amongst self-selected physicians working at VA Hospitals was 34.3% in 2013 and 39% in 2014. This rate is quoted in the article as lower than burnout rates in non-VA hospitals.
As the daughter and sister of veterans, I would like to thank my physician colleagues that are veterans and extend that gratitude for service to all veterans.
