The emotional exit interview no one ever does in medicine
Every year, thousands of physicians quit their jobs leaving hospitals, clinics, and academic centers behind. When they go, most organizations conduct exit interviews to gather feedback on salary, workload, or management. But there’s a deeper conversation that almost never happens: the emotional exit interview. This is the chance for doctors to honestly express how their hearts have been bruised by the very profession they once loved—and for institutions to learn what truly drives physicians away.
