Abstract
Purpose: National studies suggest over fifty percent of physicians have feelings of burnout (Shanafelt et. al. Mayo Clin Proc 2015). This can result in emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and reduced personal accomplishment. Left unmanaged this can lead to depression, addiction, and suicidal ideation. Burnout rates are reported for radiation oncology residents, program directors, and academic chairs but not amongst radiation oncologists who practice brachytherapy. The purpose of this study was to determine the rates of burnout amongst physician members of the American Brachytherapy Society (ABS).
