So if specialty choice is not a reliable factor,  what actually influences physician happiness? 

是以，如果專科選擇不是一個可靠的因素，那麼實際上是什麼影響了醫生的幸福感？

To start, many people are drawn to medicine due  to the desire to help others. It should come as no  

首先，許多人被吸引到醫學界是由於希望幫助他人。這不應該是

surprise then that relationships are an important  factor when it comes to physician happiness. 

那麼令人驚訝的是，當涉及到醫生的幸福時，關係是一個重要因素。

報告顯示，2022年收入最高的前5個專業是整形外科、骨科、心臟病學。

brings us to our next factor that influences  physician happiness which is work-life balance.

factors including number of hours worked and how  predictable or unpredictable the work hours are,  

包括工作小時數以及工作時間的可預測性或不可預測性等因素。

which is largely a function of being on call.  This is why specialties such as dermatology  

這在很大程度上是一個隨叫隨到的功能。  這就是為什麼諸如皮膚病學等專業

tend to rank highly in terms of work-life balance.  Dermatologists typically don’t take call and work  

在工作與生活的平衡方面往往排名很高。  皮膚科醫生通常不接電話，也不工作。

fewer hours per week than most other physicians. That being said, other factors such as the amount  

每週的工作時間比大多數其他醫生少。雖然如此，其他因素，如數量

of time spent with patients versus the time spent  charting and doing other administrative work also  

花在病人身上的時間與花在製圖和做其他行政工作上的時間相比，也是如此。

influence physician happiness. One interesting  finding is that the use of medical scribes can  

影響醫生的幸福感。一個有趣的發現是，使用醫療抄寫員可以

significantly improve physician satisfaction.  This makes sense as they decrease the amount of  

顯著提高醫生的滿意度。  這很有意義，因為它們減少了

time that physicians spend charting and give them  more time with patients–both of which are major  

醫生花在製圖上的時間，讓他們有更多的時間與病人相處--這兩者都是重要的。

contributors to the next point which is burnout. Burnout has been a popular topic in medicine  

談到下一點，也就是職業倦怠。職業倦怠一直是醫學界的一個熱門話題

in recent years and can negatively impact  a physician’s happiness. According to the  

在最近幾年，這可能對醫生的幸福感產生負面影響。根據

literature, issues such as too much charting  and paperwork, too many hours at work,  

文學，諸如過多的製圖和文書工作，工作時間過長等問題。

lack of respect, insufficient compensation, and  lack of autonomy are major sources of burnout.

So how should this data influence your choice of  specialty? Should everyone go into dermatology  

那麼，這些數據應該如何影響你對專業的選擇？是否每個人都應該進入皮膚科

or preventive medicine? Of course not. At the end of the day, there are multiple  

或預防醫學？當然不是。在一天結束時，有多個

factors that you should consider when choosing  your specialty. If you’re on the fence,  

你在選擇專業時應考慮的因素。如果你在猶豫不決

瞭解哪些專業的人平均來說是最幸福的，可能有助於動搖你的決定；但是。

it should not be a primary consideration. Instead of looking at other people’s happiness,  

它不應該是一個主要的考慮因素。而不是看別人的幸福。

it’s much more important to examine your own.  Find a specialty that you enjoy and speaks to  

審視自己的情況更為重要。  找到一個你喜歡的專業，並與之對話

your strengths instead of just choosing  the one that you feel is the happiest. 

你的長處，而不是隻選擇你覺得最幸福的那個。

Two factors that people often don’t consider with  these lists are the sampling and self-selection  

人們往往不考慮這些名單的兩個因素，即抽樣和自我選擇。

偏差。這個數據只代表了更大的醫生群體中的一個非常小的樣本，它可能是

並不完全具有代表性。而且僅僅因為該樣本中60%的普通外科醫生報告說

being happy doesn’t mean that 60% of doctors would  be happy becoming general surgeons. These are  

幸福並不意味著60%的醫生會高興地成為普通外科醫生。這些是

doctors who have already chosen their specialties.  It’s a subtle, but important distinction. 

已經選擇了自己專業的醫生。  這是一個微妙但重要的區別。

In addition, lifestyle factors  such as compensation, hours worked,  

此外，生活方式因素，如報酬、工作時間。

and administrative burden are highly variable.  It’s entirely possible to carve out your own  

和行政負擔是高度可變的。  完全有可能開闢出自己的

無論你選擇什麼專業，都可以在利基市場上創造出你想要的生活方式。作為塑膠

Surgeon Dr. Goldman said in his interview  on the Kevin Jubbal, M.D. YouTube channel,  

外科醫生戈德曼在接受Kevin Jubbal, M.D. YouTube頻道的採訪時說。

“what you do with your specialty is more  important than what specialty you choose.” 

"你用你的專業做什麼比你選擇什麼專業更重要。"

That being said, don’t fall into the trap I’ve  seen many succumb to. I’ve come across dozens  

話雖如此，但不要落入我看到的許多人屈服的陷阱。我遇到過幾十個

像皮膚科或整形外科，但最終不得不向一些東西妥協。

less competitive because they weren’t strong  enough for the specialty they truly desired. 

因為他們不夠強大，無法勝任他們真正想要的專業，所以競爭力下降。
