November 6       Physician Well-Being and Burnout 

The health care environment is always demanding, and puts physicians and other clinicians at high risk for burnout- a long-term stress reaction marked by emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and a lack of sense of personal accomplishment. The rising prevalence of burnout has a pervasive negative effect on all aspects of medical care, including your career satisfaction.

Learn from Joseph Fojtik, M.D. and Deputy Medical Coordinator at the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation (IDFPR) how you can identify burnout, how burnout affects you and the whole health care system, and what can be done about it at both the organizational and individual level.
