“Now out in The Lancet Oncology.
Burnout now impacts 59% of U.S. oncologists- up from 45% in 2013.
This is no longer just a workforce issue – it’s a patient care crisis. Proud to join the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO), the Clinical Oncology Society of Australia (COSA), and the European Cancer Organisation (ECO) in this global call to action for thriving, sustainable cancer care workplaces.
Learn more and stay updated on ASCO’s collaborative efforts on workplace wellbeing.
Read the full statement in Lancet Oncology.”
“Mounting system-level stressors render day-to-day work unsustainable, leaving physicians emotionally depleted and detached, with diminished satisfaction and sense of accomplishment. This is burnout, and it’s particularly alarming in oncology – a field built on delivering compassionate, comprehensive cancer care.”
