Comparison of Burnout and Fulfillment Rates between Physicians in Direct Primary Care and Other Practice Models

Results show that compared with non-DPC physicians, physicians practicing the DPC model of care experience greater professional fulfillment and lower burnout. Given these significant results and the small sample size of this study, more research is warranted. A larger sample size and additional data collection would increase statistical power to better evaluate clinic and physician characteristics, allow for further exploration of the findings from this study, and increase the generalizability of results.
