Date: 5/24/22Name of podcast: Dr. PatientEpisode title and number: 7 Doctor Burnout and Moral InjuryEpisode summary:Physician burnout is very prevalent in the US, and is predicted to rise in the coming years as the pandemic lingers, the doctor shortage intensifies, and the population of elderly shoots up. In addition, adolescents and young adults today are reporting all time high rates of depression and anxiety, and they’re not even in medical school yet. Raising awareness about burnout and it’s partner, moral injury, is crucial to beginning to prevent, instead of treat, this workplace phenomenon. My guest is Dr. Karen Leitner, a medicine-pediatrics doctor and now coach to women physicians.
