In light of recent lectures at the AAPM&R conference as well as recent studies (see links below), I was just wondering if anyone in the field could share some insight onto why PM&R is listed in the top of some of these "burnout" surveys. Its understandable that in general, medicine is facing burnout issues across all specialities; less autonomy, increased bureaucratic tasks, EMR, etc. However as that is standardized across all fields, it still does not explain why PM&R sits so high on burn out charts. Maybe the "Plenty of Money and Relaxation" adage doesn't hold true anymore, but it still shocks me that the speciality is being presented as a high burnout prone field. Thoughts?
