With the U.S. facing a projected shortage of up to 86,000 physicians, most conversations focus on the pipeline—but we’re missing the bigger, more immediate issue. Burnout is pushing doctors out of medicine faster than we can replace them. And the number one cause of burnout? Charting. From bloated EMRs and pajama-time documentation to the never-ending clicks, checkboxes, and compliance requirements, charting is draining physicians’ time, energy, and passion. And if burnout is driving the physician shortage, then charting is directly contributing to a system-wide collapse in access and in care.

In this kickoff episode of Chart Less, Live More, we dive into the growing crisis of physician burnout. Nearly half of doctors report feeling burned out, and it’s no surprise why—from endless charting and administrative tasks to long hours and a toxic culture that discourages rest. We unpack the latest data from the Medscape 2024 report, explore who’s most affected by specialty and gender, and reveal the real root causes behind the exhaustion so many physicians feel. Spoiler: it’s not about working harder or managing time better. This is a systemic issue—not a personal failure. Plus, I’ll give you a sneak peek at what’s coming next: time-saving charting strategies that can help you reclaim your evenings without compromising patient care.
