Why Work/Life Balance is a Challenge Worth Tackling to Be a Better Pathologist - a podcast by CAP

Forty-two percent of physicians reported feeling burned out last year, according to Medscape's 2021 Physician Burnout Report published earlier this year. And not surprisingly, COVID 19 appears to have increased levels of physician burnout. While 69% of physicians said they were somewhat or very happy in 2020 before the pandemic started, this figure fell to 49 percent during the pandemic, according to that same Medscape survey.

Like most physicians, many pathologists find it challenging to balance professional and personal responsibilities. While this balance can be particularly difficult for pathologists early in their careers, there are some methods to improve efficiencies both at home and at work, as Yasmeen Butt, MD, FCAP, and Jaclyn Rudzinski, MD, FCAP discuss in this CAPcast episode.
