Burnout and Burnt Breakfast: A Clinician and Educator's Perspective

It is clear that burnout is on the rise among physicians.¹ And while there are articles detailing areas that could be addressed,² change takes time, and progress on a large scale is slow. While we watch the system evolve, we have to take accountability for our own personal well-being. We cannot sit around and wait for the whole industry to change when we can have control over our own circumstances. I sat down to analyze my own stressors and think about their impact on my work-life balance. Stress will continue to exist and evolve, but we can grow from it and shift from negativity to positivity to continue improving our own well-being. As an educator, this is particularly important in ensuring the well-being of future generations.
