A solution for rural physician burnout: the creation of the PEERist.
A major factor in rural physician burnout is the demand of providing emergency room and hospital coverage in addition to running a clinic practice. The creation of the PEERist helps solve this problem without causing economic hardship for either the hospital or the physician. The PEERist has particular applications to rural doctors affiliated with critical access hospitals.
