Physician burnout has long been a problem in the United States and abroad. The changing milieu of the healthcare environment in addition to the hostile environment towards physicians has made the career less desirable by many. With so many things that leave physicians vulnerable including patient satisfaction, disciplinary boards and criminal proceedings, it doesn�??t surprise you that many physicians are choosing to refresh or restart their careers in other areas. With the current shortage of physicians in the US coupled with the reduction of physicians in the clinical pipeline, one can wonder what will happen with the profession as we know it. While physicians are leaving the clinical workforce, others are finding other options more feasible leading to suicide or substance abuse. Now is the time to keep yourself healthy and take a long look at your career so that it doesn�??t take over your life entirely.
