Burnout and Work-Life Balance in Radiation Oncology-AM2018

Professional burnout is characterized by emotional exhaustion, impersonal relationships with others, and a sense of professional inadequacy. Burnout is a common problem for oncologists who are expected to give care impartially to highly complex and very ill patients, often in a rigorous and stressful environment. This session is designed to raise awareness of burnout, identify how this could affect their practice, and provide strategies for mitigation of burnout such as improving work-life balance. To achieve these goals, Dr. Yechieli, Dr. De Bari, and Dr. Thomas will discuss their work identifying and defining burnout at different stages in the career of a radiation oncologist (training, early, and late). Dr. Jagsi will discuss her work on mitigation of burnout and work-life balance. 

This activity is available from March 14, 2019, through 11:59 p.m. Eastern time on  March 13, 2022.

This activity was originally recorded at ASTRO’s 2018 Annual Meeting, October 22-24, 2018  in San Antonio, TX.
