Episode Synopsis

Feelings of stress, fatigue, and exhaustion – what is being described as "burnout" – have become a common occurrence among providers, including rheumatologists, with important implications in clinical practice. Various surveys and studies have reported a substantial prevalence of burnout (approximately 50%) among rheumatology providers. Beth L. Jonas, MD, Reeves Foundation Distinguished Professor of Medicine and chief of the Division of Rheumatology, Allergy, and Immunology at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, joins us on this episode to provide deeper insight on the issue of "burnout" from a clinical practice standpoint.
