Purpose Of ReviewAssessment of the current literature surrounding interventions directed toward the prevention of burnout in the field of medicine and particularly in anesthesiology.Recent FindingsRecently, burnout has been noted to lead to medication errors and subsequently increased harm to our patients. On a personal level, burnout can lead to depression and even suicide amongst physicians. Strategies to prevent burnout amongst anesthesiologists that have been studied in the literature include multisource feedback, mentorship and early recognition.SummaryThere remains no clear or definitive intervention to prevent burnout for physicians. However, changing our environment to embrace mentorship, the continual exchange of feedback and the fostering self-care could startlingly improve our work environment.
