It's not really commensurate. And so that is a big sort of hurdle that I feel like we do need to tackle as a profession in order for this burnout to really not or start to be more mitigated. And then just the last thing I'll just say is the community aspect of what was just mentioned, like the connection to community within your own practice or hospital or wherever you are, like that connection to community and doing something that's more meaningful, that's not just about getting paid, necessarily. You still could get paid for it, but it's on this bigger scale, I think is also, especially for this next generation, so important for them to connect their why to something bigger than themselves.
And so having these opportunities to connect with community and do community outreach types of things is critical for practices and organizations to think about as far as retention of teams, but also mitigating burnout.
