Target Audience

Open to all physicians.

Purpose

A recent survey conducted by Randstad Consulting found that 40 percent of US adult workers are burned out. Organizations often believe that employee burnout is a personal issue. That’s a mistake. Leadership is a big part of the equation.

Professional Practice Gap

There is an epidemic of physician burnout in the United States, and it has a pervasive negative effect on all aspects of medical care, including your career satisfaction. According to one researcher, “Numerous global studies involving nearly every medical and surgical specialty indicate that one in every three physicians is experiencing burnout at any given time.” The 2015 Medscape Physician Lifestyle Survey reported an even higher burnout rate – 46 percent of physicians, up from 39.8 percent in the 2013 survey.

Burnout is directly linked to an impressive list of undesirable consequences:

• Lower patient satisfaction and care quality,
• Higher medical error rates and malpractice risk,
• Higher physician and staff turnover,
• Physician alcohol and drug abuse and addiction,
• Physician suicide.

Unfortunately, although physician burnout is incredibly common and damaging, it remains a taboo subject in the workplace. Stress management and burnout prevention are not covered in detail in medical school or residency training.
