Burnout among faculty physicians in an academic health science centre.
Burnout experienced by physicians is concerning because it may affect quality of care. ⋯ Up to 22% of academic paediatric physicians had scores consistent with mild to severe burnout. A simple reduction in work hours is unlikely to be successful in reducing burnout and, therefore, quantitative demands, job satisfaction and work insecurity may require attention to address burnout among academic physicians.
