Potential Impact of Burnout on the US Physician Workforce
Mayo Clinic ProceedingsVol. 91Issue 11p1667–1668Published in issue: November, 2016- Tait D. Shanafelt

Cited in Scopus: 95The US Department of Health and Human Services projects a shortfall of 45,000 to 90,000 physicians by 2025.1,2 The magnitude of this shortage may be more acute in specialties such as the primary care disciplines and general surgery.1 One underrecognized factor that may influence the supply of physicians is professional burnout. Based on a prospective, longitudinal analysis of burnout and payroll records, we recently reported that higher emotional exhaustion (EE) (a dimension of burnout) is associated with an increased likelihood that physicians will reduce their professional work effort. - Letter to the Editor
MACRA Regulatory Burdens and the Threat of Physician Burnout
Mayo Clinic ProceedingsVol. 91Issue 11p1671–1672Published in issue: November, 2016- Join Y. Luh
Cited in Scopus: 3The research article by Shanafelt et al1 regarding clerical burden and physician burnout is timely and provides much needed objective data in this arena. No doubt, for most physicians, the current electronic environment has greatly increased the clerical burden of physicians without necessarily enhancing the quality of medical care or workflow efficiency. This burden will be especially heavy for small practices that lack the administrative resources found in large health care organizations. - Letter to the Editor
Factors Affecting Burnout in Physicians
Mayo Clinic ProceedingsVol. 91Issue 4p536–537Published in issue: April, 2016- Teck K. Khoo
Cited in Scopus: 4I appreciated the insightful data presented by Shanafelt et al1 in their article in the December 2015 issue of Mayo Clinic Proceedings, and I share the concerns about burnout rates among physicians in the United States. Although burnout is undoubtedly a multifactorial issue, one wonders about the role of recent federal mandates. - Letter to the Editor
Burnout and the Ethos of Medical Practice
Mayo Clinic ProceedingsVol. 91Issue 4p537Published in issue: April, 2016- Arnold R. Eiser
Cited in Scopus: 1The article by Shanafelt et al1 published in the December 2015 issue of Mayo Clinic Proceedings describes the very serious and worsening problem of burnout among American physicians, and the editorial by Ariely and Lanier2 attempts to elucidate the causes, noting asymmetrical awards, loss of autonomy, and cognitive scarcity. I could not agree more on one point that Ariely and Lanier made, that the “micromanaging of physicians' time and decisions” in the name of productivity by their corporate overseers is a major factor in the burnout and that it needs to be addressed. - LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Burnout, Depression, and Quality of Life in Medical Students
Mayo Clinic ProceedingsVol. 82Issue 2p251–252Published in issue: February, 2007- Teck-Kim Khoo
- Tow Shung Tan
Cited in Scopus: 3To the Editor: The article on burnout, depression, and quality of life (QOL) in US medical students by Dyrbye et al1 certainly brings attention to issues often dismissed by many students and some teachers of medicine. Many have considered a poor QOL during the early phases of medical training to be a norm, almost an expectation, or even the acid test required to prepare them for the grueling years ahead. Previous surveys have quantified the prevalence of depression at up to a quarter of first- and second-year medical students, only a fraction of whom seek mental health counseling. - LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Burnout, Depression, and Quality of Life in Medical Students–Reply–I
Mayo Clinic ProceedingsVol. 82Issue 2p252Published in issue: February, 2007- Liselotte N. Dyrbye

Cited in Scopus: 0Response bias is a concern with survey studies. We do not know if depressed students are more apathetic and less likely to fill out surveys on QOL and depression or if, on the other hand, they are more likely to complete such surveys because the survey content is more relevant to their circumstances. As pointed out by Drs Khoo and Tan, there may be other factors as well that impede minority students from filling out survey forms. As we pointed out in the discussion, minority students may feel that their anonymity is threatened because there are few minority students like them. - Discussion
Stress Among Medical Oncologists: The Phenomenon of Burnout and a Call to Action
Mayo Clinic ProceedingsVol. 68Issue 6p614–615Published in issue: June, 1993- Edward T. Creagan
Cited in Scopus: 16The concept of “burnout” typically generates a vision of a scorched earth with no meaningful vegetation and a lack of life. When people experience burnout in their professional lives, they seem to lack interest and enthusiasm. The “fire in the belly” that was once a roaring inferno diminishes to a dimly lit and quickly fading ember. Usually, the concept of “brownout” is more germane to a decrease in joy-filled experiences than to a complete lack of enthusiasm.
