Improving the financial struggles of resident physicians

Join Kelley Butler, a family medicine resident and member of the Committee of Interns and Residents/SEIU, as we delve into the financial struggles faced by health care workers, focusing on the experiences of resident physicians. We discuss the impact of inadequate compensation on patient care, burnout rates, and the overall well-being of health care professionals. Our discussion centers around Senate Bill 525, which aims to address these challenges by advocating for a fair living wage for health care workers. Tune in to discover the importance of equitable compensation and the potential benefits of a more diverse physician workforce.
