  • * For all team configurations, satisfaction with practice, having control over workload, and having professional values aligned with practice management were significantly associated with reduced odds of burnout.

  • For teams with MA/nurse only, other significant contributing factors of burnout were being female and practicing in highly socially deprived counties.

  • For teams with MA/nurse + NP/PA or specialist, no other factors were significantly associated with increased odds of burnout.

  • § P < .05.

  • For teams with MA/nurse + NP/PA and specialist, other significant contributing factors of burnout were being female, MD, and practicing in independently owned practices.

  • MA, medical assistant; NP, nurse practitioner; PA, physician assistant; CI, confidence interval.
