Physician Burdens

This opportunity for engagement is now closed. Thank you to all who participated. See the Engagement Process & Outcomes panel on this page for details.

See here for information on Phase 2 of member engagement to inform policy development on this issue.


Helping us understand how we can advocate for you

We know physicians are frustrated by mounting demands. For many, the volume and pace of these demands has become burdensome, and this can have serious consequences for physicians and the health care system.

A dedicated, long-term approach that focuses on systemic change is needed. Doctors of BC is committed to advocating for this change.

A literature review and early member engagement revealed 10 key burden areas. In May 2019--the first of three phases of engagement with members on this important topic--we sought your input to understand if and how these were impacting you.

Member input gathered via a survey and comment boards helped inform policy recommendations specific to the BC context and enable Doctors of BC to advocate for solutions that reflect your experience and meet your needs.
