Abstract
Are Hispanic, Black, and Asian Physicians Truly Less Burned Out Than White Physicians?
Highlights
Garcia and colleagues[1] delve into an understudied but vitally important physician workforce concern: professional burnout
Multivariable models adjusting for specialty, workload, practice setting, age, and sex show that physicians in minority racial/ethnic groups had considerably lower rates of burnout than their White counterparts
It could be that controlling for specialty in the multivariate model masks the extent of burnout experienced by physicians from underrepresented groups compared with their White counterparts
Summary
Garcia and colleagues[1] delve into an understudied but vitally important physician workforce concern: professional burnout. Multivariable models adjusting for specialty, workload, practice setting, age, and sex show that physicians in minority racial/ethnic groups (ie, Hispanic/Latinx, non-Hispanic Black, and non-Hispanic Asian physicians) had considerably lower rates of burnout than their White counterparts.
