TL;DR: Burnout is more common among physicians than among other US workers, and Physicians in specialties at the front line of care access seem to be at greatest risk.
Abstract: Methods: We conducted a national study of burnout in a large sample of US physicians from all specialty disciplines using the American Medical Association Physician Masterfile and surveyed a probability-based sample of the general US population for comparison. Burnout was measured using validated instruments. Satisfaction with work-life balance was explored. Results: Of 27276 physicians who received an invitation to participate, 7288 (26.7%) completed surveys. When assessed using the Maslach Burnout Inventory, 45.8%ofphysiciansreportedatleast1symptomofburnout. Substantial differences in burnout were observed by specialty, with the highest rates among physicians at the front line of care access (family medicine, general internalmedicine,andemergencymedicine).Comparedwith a probability-based sample of 3442 working US adults, physicians were more likely to have symptoms of burnout (37.9% vs 27.8%) and to be dissatisfied with worklife balance (40.2% vs 23.2%) (P.001 for both). Highest level of education completed also related to burnout in a pooled multivariate analysis adjusted for age, sex, relationship status, and hours worked per week. Comparedwithhighschoolgraduates,individualswithanMD or DO degree were at increased risk for burnout (odds ratio [OR], 1.36; P.001), whereas individuals with a bachelor’sdegree(OR,0.80;P=.048),master’sdegree(OR, 0.71;P=.01),orprofessionalordoctoraldegreeotherthan an MD or DO degree (OR, 0.64; P=.04) were at lower risk for burnout. Conclusions: Burnout is more common among physicians than among other US workers. Physicians in specialties at the front line of care access seem to be at greatest risk.

TL;DR: Burnout and satisfaction with work-life balance in US physicians worsened from 2011 to 2014, resulting in an increasing disparity in burn out and satisfaction in physicians relative to the general US working population.
Abstract: Objective To evaluate the prevalence of burnout and satisfaction with work-life balance in physicians and US workers in 2014 relative to 2011. Patients and Methods From August 28, 2014, to October 6, 2014, we surveyed both US physicians and a probability-based sample of the general US population using the methods and measures used in our 2011 study. Burnout was measured using validated metrics, and satisfaction with work-life balance was assessed using standard tools. Results Of the 35,922 physicians who received an invitation to participate, 6880 (19.2%) completed surveys. When assessed using the Maslach Burnout Inventory, 54.4% (n=3680) of the physicians reported at least 1 symptom of burnout in 2014 compared with 45.5% (n=3310) in 2011 ( P P P P Conclusion Burnout and satisfaction with work-life balance in US physicians worsened from 2011 to 2014. More than half of US physicians are now experiencing professional burnout.

TL;DR: The studies suggest a high prevalence of depression and anxiety among medical students, with levels of overall psychological distress consistently higher than in the general population and age-matched peers by the later years of training.
Abstract: PurposeTo systematically review articles reporting on depression, anxiety, and burnout among U.S. and Canadian medical students.MethodMedline and PubMed were searched to identify peer-reviewed English-language studies published between January 1980 and May 2005 reporting on depression, anxie

TL;DR: The prevalence of burn out among internal medicine residents in a single university-based program is evaluated and the relationship of burnout to self-reported patient care practices is evaluated.
Abstract: In this study, burnout was common among resident physicians and was associated with self-reported suboptimal patient care practices.

TL;DR: Major medical errors reported by surgeons are strongly related to a surgeon's degree of burnout and their mental QOL, and Burnout and depression remained independent predictors of reporting a recent major medical error on multivariate analysis that controlled for other personal and professional factors.
Abstract: Objective:To evaluate the relationship between burnout and perceived major medical errors among American surgeons.Background:Despite efforts to improve patient safety, medical errors by physicians remain a common cause of morbidity and mortality.Methods:Members of the American College of Surgeons we

TL;DR: It is shown that disease- and trait-associated genetic variants are enriched in tissue-specific epigenomic marks, revealing biologically relevant cell types for diverse human traits, and providing a resource for interpreting the molecular basis of human disease.
Abstract: The reference human genome sequence set the stage for studies of genetic variation and its association with human disease, but epigenomic studies lack a similar reference. To address this need, the NIH Roadmap Epigenomics Consortium generated the largest collection so far of human epigenomes for primary cells and tissues. Here we describe the integrative analysis of 111 reference human epigenomes generated as part of the programme, profiled for histone modification patterns, DNA accessibility, DNA methylation and RNA expression. We establish global maps of regulatory elements, define regulatory modules of coordinated activity, and their likely activators and repressors. We show that disease- and trait-associated genetic variants are enriched in tissue-specific epigenomic marks, revealing biologically relevant cell types for diverse human traits, and providing a resource for interpreting the molecular basis of human disease. Our results demonstrate the central role of epigenomic information for understanding gene regulation, cellular differentiation and human disease.
