9/18/2020—In this week's "Quick COVID-19 Primary Care Survey," 489 clinicians were surveyed on the current state of primary care. While some national models have claimed primary care practices have rebounded to pre-pandemic levels, 97 percent of those surveyed disagree. Fewer than half the practices surveyed have the same number of clinicians working the same hours as before the pandemic. In fact, out of those surveyed, one in five practices have reported clinicians who have chosen early retirement or to leave their jobs as a direct result of the pandemic.
