Partner with SAMGI for a Healthier Healthcare Workforce
Physician burnout is a rapidly escalating issue with far-reaching impacts on various stakeholders in healthcare, including patients, and profound effects on the US healthcare workforce. According to the National Library of Medicine, surgeons exhibit some of the highest rates of burnout and stress in the field of medicine.
Here are some compelling statistics underscoring the severity of the problem:
- Burnout among surgeons is increasing at an alarming rate with current reports exceeding 50% and 61% among trauma surgeons.
- It is estimated that every year, attrition and reduced clinical activity due to burnout cost the American healthcare system approximately $4.6 billion.
- Research indicates that there is a concerning projection of up to 139,000 physician shortages by the year 2033.
Projected physician demand and physician supply for the United States of America from 2017 to 2030 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7006215
One of the most recognized factors leading to burnout is dissatisfaction with the job and/or one’s work-life balance. Operated by surgeons themselves, our surgicalist program provides a transformative solution that promotes standardized care, alleviates call burden, prioritizes work-life balance, and ultimately reduces burnout.
Our surgicalist programs have undergone rigorous peer review, showcasing our unwavering commitment to surgeon growth and retention. With SAMGI, your hospital and its surgeon-patient care are in good hands for years to come.
By partnering with SAMGI, your hospital can counter the burnout crisis, enhance surgeon satisfaction, and improve overall healthcare performance for years to come.

In summary, a surgicalist program is a dedicated healthcare model where a specialized team of surgeons provides around-the-clock acute surgical care. It ensures timely access to high-quality surgical services, leading to improved patient outcomes and operational efficiencies for the hospital.
Unlike the traditional on-call system, where local surgeons may rotate in providing emergency surgical coverage, SAMGI surgicalists work collaboratively as a team and are readily available within the hospital to respond to patients' surgical needs promptly. By having dedicated surgicalists in place, hospitals can streamline the care process, reduce wait times, and offer consistent, high-quality surgical services to patients.
Surgicalist programs are especially beneficial for hospitals with a high volume of surgical cases or those in need of specialized surgical expertise. They provide a reliable and efficient approach to managing surgical care, leading to better patient experiences and outcomes while also providing hospitals with significant cost savings and operational advantages.
SAMGI provides access to a wide range of surgical specialties. Our team of surgeons includes board-certified or board-eligible experts in trauma and acute care surgery, as well as other acute surgical specialties like general surgery, orthopedic, neurosurgery, vascular, and more. This diverse pool of surgical talent allows us to help hospitals close their gaps in surgical care comprehensively and effectively.
In summary, SAMGI's partnership empowers hospitals to fill their surgical gaps, achieve ACS verification, build out service lines, and benefit from significant savings while maintaining high-quality patient care. Other support and resources that SAMGI provides include:
- SAMGI takes care of the entire continuum of surgical care, not just the staffing, from admission in the emergency department to post-discharge convalescence.

This approach fosters a healthier work-life balance for our surgical team, ensuring they remain engaged, satisfied, and able to deliver the highest quality of care to patients.
