As someone who just left academia, I think the biggest issue is that we’ve become hospital employed physicians with RVU goals higher than some of my private practice colleagues, but lacking a commiserate salary. Academic endeavors are minimally supported and essentially done on personal time given the clinical burden. This was not feasible with a family at home.
