One of the AMA's core strategic objectives is to advance health care delivery and payment models that enable high-quality, affordable care and restore and preserve physician professional satisfaction. Such changes could yield a more sustainable and effective health care system with highly motivated physicians. To that end, the AMA asked the RAND Corporation to identify the factors that lead to physician satisfaction.
