Physicians turned from owners into data-entry clerks

March 26, 2026Anthony DiGiorgio, DO, MHA

Anthony DiGiorgio claims policymakers shifted doctors away from entrepreneurship into computer-heavy clerical work, driving burnout and exits. He argues fixing that would reduce perceived physician shortages.

The US has plenty of doctors.
Policymakers turned them from owners and entrepreneurs into data entry clerks.
Now we spend all our time on a computer until we burn out and quit.
Change that and there’s no longer a shortage.
