The physician burnout epidemic is real. Burnout is a long-term stress reaction marked by emotional exhaustion, depersonalization and the lack of sense of personal accomplishment. In Medscape’s 2019 report, 44% of physicians reported feeling burned out; 11% were colloquially depressed and 4% were clinically depressed.
To help combat the burnout epidemic, The American Hospital Association Physician Alliance has developed a Physician Leadership Experience course to help guide physicians through the creation of a new way to lead in their lives and careers.
Physicians have two opportunities to participate in this course. Visit aha.org/physicians to reserve your spot.
The AHA Physician Alliance has also released a new well-being playbook for hospital and health system leaders. The book contains seven key steps for success and provides real-world case examples of successful interventions deployed in various health system settings to illustrate the steps.
Stay tuned to the SDAHO’s website for more resources and support for physician and administrative leaders.
