“Find the right work/life balance, evaluate what specifically it is about the burnout phenomenon that is triggering that feeling; it is not the same for all. Once identified, remove it (reconfigure your responsibilities); dilute it (spend more time doing something you really enjoy so that you can be better prepared for when the stress and frustration level builds); or see how it can be modified to become more acceptable or less onerous.”

“A potent step in decreasing MD burnout for an employed MD is the diversification of the work week. I believe that a job description that is diverse allows for job satisfaction to be obtained through other means besides patient care, which can be mercurial.” Cover Story | 29
