With more government hoops to jump through than ever and shrinking reimbursements; it’s no surprise physician burnout is on the rise.

A recent Physician Lifestyle Report showed a 46% incidence of physician burnout, up six points compared to just two years prior.[1] And though dermatologists rated highest in experiencing ‘happiness at work’, and the lowest percentage of burned-out physicians by specialty, a 37% burnout rate is nothing to brag about. Of those that are burned out, a full 10% say they are at their max, close to leaving medicine altogether!

Physicians must be intentional about protecting themselves from burnout and finding their own work/life balance. You’ve probably read tips for physician de-stressing before. Just like patients who, despite your recommendations, don't take care of their skin until the first signs of aging or sun damage, you too may have ignored these tips until you felt the unrelenting stress that signals you’re near burnout.

Even though creating work/life balance looks different for each professional, here are some tips to help you push back burnout and get in touch with what makes your career and life feel fulfilling and balanced.
