For doctors, burnout is an occupational disease that impairs both quality of healthcare and physicians’ health. It is associated with medical malpractice, emotional distress, absenteeism, reduction in personal effectiveness, and increased risk of health problems. A comprehensive study examining burnout among physicians in Israel indicated that many suffered high levels of burnout, with burnout levels rising significantly throughout the years of the study. These findings coincide with a study that examined burnout among American doctors in various specialties, and found that burnout is more common among physicians than among other US workers. Of the physicians, 45.8% reported at least one symptom of burnout compared to 23% of the general population. Furthermore, physicians in specialties at the front line of care access seem to be at the greatest risk. Lower levels of burnout were found among dermatologists, pediatricians, and pathologists1 . Burnout, as it increases, has been shown to result in lower work satisfaction and subsequently increased levels of turnover intentions.
