Physician’s Foundation 2020 Physician Survey

The Physicians Foundation released its biennial Survey of America’s Physicians revealing the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on physician practices and their patients. This year’s survey is a three-part series examining how COVID-19 is affecting and is perceived by the nation’s physicians.

The Physicians Foundation’s 2020 Survey of America’s Physicians finds that the majority of physicians believe COVID-19 won’t be under control until January 2021, with nearly half not seeing the virus being under control until after June 1, 2021. Furthermore, a majority of physicians believe that the virus will severely impact patient health outcomes due to delayed routine care during the pandemic.
