Top 5 Happiest Doctors by Specialty #SHORTS

We can define a physician’s happiness in two broad categories: at work and outside of work. Happiness outside of work is largely a function of the lifestyle of the specialty. This encompasses factors like the number of hours spent in the hospital, the amount of money one makes, and how predictable or unpredictable the work hours are. Specialties with favorable lifestyles tend to score higher in terms of happiness outside of work.

The top five happiest specialties outside of work are rheumatology, otolaryngology, endocrinology, pediatrics, and general surgery.

Happiness at work is largely dependent on factors like the amount of time spent with patients, the patient population, the immediacy of patient improvement, and the level of stress at work.

The top five happiest specialties at work are dermatology, ophthalmology, allergy and immunology, followed by a three-way tie between orthopedic surgery, psychiatry, and pulmonary medicine.

This data may be helpful; however, don’t let it sway you completely. Rather than looking at data about others’ happiness levels, examine your own. Going into a specialty that you actually enjoy is more important to your long-term happiness than just pursuing whatever has the best lifestyle, procedures, or compensation.
