The "B" word comes with multiple implications. From the shame associated with the lack of performance to implications about what it could mean as future obstacles present themselves, many clinicians do everything they can to avoid brining up their suffering to supervisors. How can we reframe the concept of burnout to ensure that people respond rather than react? The co-hosts of the Shrinking Burnout podcast, Dr. Andrew Wu and Dr. Varsha Radhakrishnan discuss how they breach the topic with their guests and what they have discovered is helpful in addressing the needs of trainees during times of unrelenting stress.  

In this episode we discuss the following: 

  • Why is burnout an essential topic when addressing physician wellness? 
  • What are the implications of burnout and how does it negatively impact physician perception? 
  • What do research trends show about how burnout impacts physician performance? 
  • What are the barriers to reframing this term to decrease negative associations? 
  • How does The Shrinking Burnout podcast address these critical physician needs?
