  • General Practice
  • Corporate Medicine

Background:

  • Workload and burnout are significant concerns in healthcare professions.
  • Understanding differences in workload between general practitioners and company doctors is crucial for targeted interventions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare the workload of general practitioners and company doctors.
  • To identify factors contributing to burnout risk in these medical groups.

Main Methods:

  • Structured telephone interviews were conducted with 26 full-time general practitioners and 17 full-time company doctors.

Main Results:

  • General practitioners reported a significantly higher workload compared to company doctors.
