Mortality among US physicians and other health care workers

JAMA Internal Medicine

Peer-Reviewed Publication

JAMA Network

About The Study: The results of this cross-sectional study suggest that although physicians and most health care workers experienced lower mortality rates compared with the general population, this benefit did not fully extend to female individuals or racial and ethnic minority groups. Renewed efforts are needed to address health inequities within the health care workforce.
