Description:
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.

Learning Objectives:
• Describe the features of professional burnout and identify burnout in themselves or others.
• Provide methods for mitigating burnout through means such as work-life balance.

Additional details will be posted as soon as information is available.
