The following study seeks to understand what physicians do to most satisfy their patients, and how they maintain a state of well-being in their clinical practices. Results show that physicians’ communication skills are most important; drawing out the patient’s story, through active listening, included eliciting the patient’s concerns and fears. This is a great context for improved diagnosis and treatment. Similarly, physicians’ greatest reward is patient interaction and connection in the context of their clinical practice—getting to know people and helping them.
