Which physician has the highest burnout? How does gender affect burnout? Why is mental health important for healthcare workers? Our guest, Mary Pan, MD, family medicine physician and chief wellness officer at the Washington Permanente Medical Group, discusses the ongoing issue of burnout among women physicians, the persistent gender gap in burnout rates, and outlines innovative health care support systems like physician mentorship and peer support to improve the well-being of doctors. Dr. Pan shares insights from the AMA's Mini-Z Survey, which shows that while burnout rates are decreasing, women still experience higher levels of burnout compared to men—especially when it comes to work done outside of regular hours.
