David Wazer: Professional Burnout in Healthcare Providers

David Wazer, Professor and Chairman of Radiation Oncology at Brown University Health, shared a post on LinkedIn:

“I wanted to highlight an important editorial regarding professional burnout in healthcare providers.  “After Burnout: Reigniting the Flame”  by Dr. Dan Golden, is an extraordinarily thoughtful and important piece.

Physician burnout is widely acknowledged, but far too rarely discussed in a way that feels authentic, personal, and actionable. Dr Golden’s willingness to describe his own experience so openly brings humanity to an issue that is often reduced to statistics, surveys, or institutional talking points. In doing so, he has given voice to experiences that many physicians quietly recognize in themselves but may never feel comfortable articulating. That alone makes the article enormously valuable.

Other examples recommended by Dr. Golden of physicians speaking forthrightly on this issue:

Redefining Resilience | Humanities | JAMA | JAMA Network
2023 AAS Presidential Address- Removing the Mask (available on YouTube).”
