Course
Overview:
Physician burnout has
grown dramatically in recent years with about half of physicians experiencing
at least one measure of burnout. In years past, the remedy has been on
self-care and resiliency. Today, the
literature recognizes that health systems/organizations are also
responsible for physician burnout and that those systems need to change in
order to begin to successfully address this epidemic. This program will
describe how some institutions are appointing physicians, often practicing
clinicians themselves, to a senior role leading change at the hospital level.
These physician leaders understand the drivers of burnout from personal experience and are
uniquely positioned to help guide their institutions to
measure burnout and then take the necessary organizational steps
to improve those measures. The research in this area is relatively new, and the
solutions are still in their infancy. This program will identify several system
solutions and strategies for implementation and also help organizations just
getting started.
The program is a pre-recorded panel discussion with a moderator
and three Massachusetts-based experts on physician burnout and wellness in
their institutions. Dr. Steven Adelman introduces and
moderates the discussion. He is joined by panelists Dr. Karim
Awad, Dr. Andrew Chandler, and Dr. Susannah Rowe, who answer questions and
provide unique perspectives on physician burnout and their
organizations’ initiatives to date. The video also includes
resources for further study and is accompanied by evaluation questions to
receive CME credit.
