By
Marilynn Larkin
Summary
A Medscape survey of Canadian physicians (specialists and GPs) explores how their careers impact romantic relationships. Most respondents are aged 45+, in committed relationships, and practice in urban settings. They rely on partners for venting about work stress but report that work often interferes with relationships. Single physicians struggle to find partners who understand the demands of the profession. The survey also covers attitudes toward workplace romance, affairs, and the unique challenges of dating as a medical professional.
