3) The rise of social media misinformation has created more misguided public distrust in the medical system as a whole which then puts physicians in a more constant position of acting as educators against disinformation. This increases the rate of burnout.

4) More young physicians are hospital/ system employed. Since they don't directly share in the costs/profits of private practice ownership, they don't feel the burden of needing to work longer hours to enhance the financial stability of the practice.

8) The interconnectedness of today's world makes it easier for physicians to compare their job to those of friends/ colleagues across the country. It's much more common for one to switch jobs early in their career if it isn't in line with their personal or professional goals.
