Physician Burnout Series: Managing the Very Real Emotional Challenges of Working in Healthcare

Written By: The TrueLearn Team | Share:

A recent study revealed that on average, 45% of resident physicians experience burnout and 95% of medical professionals recognize burnout as a serious problem, according to Etactics.

So…Why Do You Experience Burnout?

Burnout is characterized by depersonalization, emotional exhaustion, and a diminished sense of accomplishment. Physician burnout is a form of work-related stress that many in healthcare experience to some degree. 

Physicians tend to be compassionate, empathetic, and very hardworking, which can make them vulnerable. Additionally, clinical environments may sometimes feel disempowering, and some even struggle with imposter syndrome, which can touch on our own insecurities.  

Burnout Doesn’t Happen in a Vacuum. 

You may have difficulty connecting with your colleagues and patients if you suffer from burnout for an extended period of time. Recognizing when you are depleted, practicing self-reflective exercises, and acknowledging that you are spent will help you cope and manage burnout. 

As part of our series on Coping with Burnout in the COVID Era, we’ll hear from Ramya Iyer, a psychotherapist in Chicago and the founder of Thriving in Residency. In this recording, she walks us through the dimensions of burnout, recognizing symptoms, exercises and skills to cope, as well as much more. 

To watch these vital insights, you can find that video below.
