RECOMMENDED READING ON PHYSICIAN BURNOUT
|
Probably the best book on how an individual physician can work through burnout. This would make an excellent group read and has some really great practical chapters for redesigning one's worklife, securing support from your boss, and even knowing when it's time to make an exit.
Boise-area rheumatologist Tom Murphy writes an excellent overview of physician burnout signs, causes, and routes forward to recovery out of his own experience.

Written in 1999 by the founder of the Maslach Burnout Inventory and an organizational specialist, this book helps employers understand the systems level causes of employee burnout, why they should do something about it, and why to intervene.
This has a lot of the standard burnout information in it, but the better part of the book is really in the way it addresses health system level issues.
|
Dr. Paul DeChant's well researched book presents a very straight forward look at the fundamentals of burnout causes, symptoms, and effects. In the last few chapters, he cites examples of medical organizations that are doing systematic work to promote a culture of wellness.
