Physicians During the COVID-19 Pandemic In the US, the COVID-19 pandemic has already resulted in over 1 million excess deaths, 1 defined as the difference between the number of observed and expected deaths over a specified period. 2 Despite their essential role in the pandemic response, little is known about excess deaths among physicians. Using data from the American Medical Association (AMA), we calculated excess deaths from March 2020 through December 2021 among US physicians.
