"Physicians experienced a challenging year on numerous fronts, including weathering the volatile financial impact of lockdowns," said Leslie Kane, MA, Senior Director, Medscape Business of Medicine. "Our report shows that many were able to pivot to use telemedicine and focus on tactics that would protect their practices. COVID took a terrible emotional toll on physicians and healthcare workers, and many are still struggling financially, but our findings showed that physicians will innovate and change quickly to meet the needs of patients through extremely difficult times."
