From the last slide of a lecture on the characteristics of the Millenial Generation in Medical School.
Listening to a talk recently, the speaker indicated that the Millenial generation has distinct views of work/life balance compared to us older docs. They value time off and independence. They value work and the marginal benefits of longer hours to achieve higher income as simply not really worth it.
I hope this portends some good for the profession, though the trend towards not viewing medicine as a calling may alarm some. I tend towards the Millenial view, however, seeing my profession more as a way of contributing to the world than as a true calling. And it looks like that is the majority view of my generation, the Boomers.
