Abstract

Physician burnout is a pervasive problem affecting our workforce. More than one-third of surveyed pediatric orthopedists are experiencing symptoms of burnout. Engagement and transparency with the problem are required to support physicians throughout their career. Both personal strategies to foster resilience and systemic responses to make space for supporting physician wellness are required to truly effect change. Mindfulness is a studied tool that can be easily and strategically implemented to help combat physician burnout.
