Burnout impacts not only the affected physician, but also his or her peers, coworkers and family. When burnout affects physician performance and leads to medical errors, it becomes an important patient safety issue as well. The extreme consequences of burnout across all healthcare professions is now so obvious that the public and medical community have no choice but to acknowledge its signs, symptoms, prevalence and potential treatment. This course addresses physician burnout as a contagious malignancy resulting from the demands and reality of the medical profession. We will review practical steps that can be taken to combat burnout at the individual, group and organizational levels. After completing this activity, practitioners should be able to: appraise the problem and prevalence of physician burnout; summarize the effects of burnout on affected physicians; and interpret the options and obstacles for treatment of burnout.
