Abstract

INTRODUCTIONBurnout is an occupational phenomenon defined by the International Classification of Disease (ICD‐11) as “a syndrome resulting from chronic workplace stress that has not been successfully managed; feeling of energy depletion, an increase in mental distance from one's job, and a reduction in professional efficacy.”1In 2019, leading health care organizations labeled physician burnout as a public health crisis.2 Drivers of physician burnout are an intricate interplay between health care organizational structures, societal influences, and individual‐level factors.3 Physicians suffering from burnout tend to make more medical errors and have increased self‐reported frequency of providing suboptimal patient care.4–6 In addition, there is an increase rate of suicidal thoughts, depression, and substance abuse with physician burnout.7–9Among all medical specialties, emergency medicine (EM) has one of the highest rates of physician burnout.10 According to the 2022 Medscape Lifestyle Report, nearly 60% of all EM physicians endorsed some features of burnout.10 In 2017, the National EM Resident Wellness Survey study showed a prevalence of burnout as high as 76.1% for EM residents.11 More recent studies have shown that burnout is seen as early as in medical trainees, medical students, and residents.9 The Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) in response to these data
