Abstract
High turnover among millennial hospitalists, who constitute a large proportion of early-career physicians, remains a concern. Using purposeful sampling, we surveyed 136 millennial hospitalists to understand what factors influence their decisions to leave a hospital medicine group. Family reasons (81%) and geographical location (80%) were the factors most commonly identified as important influences on decisions to leave. While these factors may be non-modifiable to a large extent, these findings underscore the importance of identifying such needs at the time of recruitment. Institutional reputation was ranked the least frequently influencing factor, when millennial hospitalists contemplate leaving a hospital medicine group. Understanding the values of this group of hospitalists needs careful attention to reduce attrition and improve retention in hospital medicine groups.
