Abstract
On the same day in March 2020 that President Donald Trump declared the COVID-19 pandemic a national emergency, researchers at the Larry A. Green Center in Virginia launched an ongoing survey of COVID-19’s effects on primary care practices. Over the past 2 years, more than 36?000 survey responses from clinicians across the country have painted an alarming picture of a workforce that’s increasingly burned out, traumatized, anxious, and depressed. As Green Center codirector Rebecca S. Etz, PhD, summed up her survey’s findings in a recent interview with JAMA, “It’s been bad for primary care over the pandemic and it’s getting worse.”
