Abstract

Physician work–life balance has gained significant attention in the last few years as the rates of burnout among physicians have increased. Burnout is defined as a state of mental and physical exhaustion caused by one's professional life.[1] It leads to exhaustion, cynicism, and adversely affected work productivity, patient outcomes, and interpersonal relationships. Although work–life balance applies to all professions, physicians find it especially hard to achieve, with almost half of U.S. surgeons being unsatisfied with their work–life dynamic.[2]
