For Your Colleagues

Clinician burnout has become too common in healthcare.  Not only is there an unsustainable workload, but too often the frustration is compounded by the feeling of futility. Is hard work being recognized or really helping patients? Healthcare professionals are frustrated by working in dysfunctional systems, and they need to be led by leaders who understand their perspective and have the administrative skills needed to serve their needs. No one person can completely fix the health system, but clinician executives who have the right skills can make the system better than it would otherwise be.
