In r/FamilyMedicine, commenters cite a high unfilled rate for FM slots and describe new attendings planning to reduce hours or exit, framing shortages as driven by status and burnout rather than simple pay differences.
I saw preliminary data, ~15% of FM slots went unfilled in the initial match this week.
I think what's more telling and more distressing is that my fellow FM new attendings are all planning how to get out quickly, shift to work part-time or retire early.
These shortages are gonna be shorter real soon.
It’s not a money thing.
Most people are avoiding FM because it is seen as low status, not out of some rationale financial analysis.
