Keep in mind that some young academic physicians see their employment only as a temporary stepping stone to a permanent position in the private sector. The poor reimbursement in academic institution compared to non-academic positions in the same community adds to the sense of not being appreciated. Furthermore, academic physicians involved in basic science have the enormous burden of applying for outside funding which is often unsuccessful.
