On the sixth instalment of the In My Scrubs Podcast, we would like to discuss burnout in medicine. Particularly during the current COVID-19 pandemic, burnout is at an all time high. It is a common theme experienced by all, from medical students, residents, attendings, and the entire patient care staff. In this episode, we'll cover the literature behind burnout, pertinent red flags, strategies and recommendations to combat it.
