“…10 Physician burnout and the resultant decreased productivity may exacerbate the previously predicted shortfall of 45,000 to 90,000 physicians in the United States by 2025. 11 Occupational stress has resulted in concern about burnout rates among emergency room physicians, 12 anesthesiologists, 13 radiologists, 14 general internists, 15 family physicians, 16 oncologists, 17 psychiatrists, 18 general surgeons, 19 trauma surgeons, 20 physiatrists, 21 cardiologists, 4 dermatologists, 22 obstetrician-gynecologists, 23 gastroenterologists, 24 residents, and even medical students. 25 In addition to worsened patient outcomes and satisfaction, physician health may be at risk.…”

Tens (or hundreds) of thousands of Americans die each year as a result of preventable medical errors. Changes in the practice and business of medicine have caused some to question whether burnout among physicians and other healthcare providers may adversely affect patient outcomes. A clear consensus supports the contention that burnout affects patients, albeit with low-quality objective data. The psychological and physical impact on physicians and other providers is quite clear, however, and the impact on the physician workforce (where large shortages are projected) is yet another cause for concern. We have all heard the airplane safety announcement remind us to "Please put on your own oxygen mask first before assisting others." Unfortunately, like many airline passengers (very few of whom use oxygen masks correctly when they are needed), physicians often do not recognize symptoms of burnout or depression, and even less often do they seek help. We detail the causes and consequences of physician burnout and propose solutions to increase physician work satisfaction.

“…ECPs may be more affected than senior colleagues; recent data showed that early career clinicians (≤5 years of practice) report higher levels of fatigue and are more likely to be burned out or exhibit symptoms of depression . The burnout “epidemic” should therefore not be overlooked among ECPs and, although more often reported for clinicians, applies to both clinicians and basic scientists …”

“…Systematic efforts are needed to recognize and address the challenges that ECPs may face both in training and early in their career paths. While no single intervention can completely restore the work‐life balance and remove the risk of burnout, individual‐initiated and structural/organizational strategies have both demonstrated to result in clinically meaningful reductions in burnout . Many of the discussed interventions may be beneficial but we would like to share some practical ideas that may be relevant for ECPs in our field.…”

“…A first step is recognizing the problem or the potential for a problem in the work‐life balance. Being able to voice this struggle and to remove the stigma on burnout will help promoting a healthier balance and creating a more appealing environment to retain ECPs in science and medicine . We should evaluate regularly whether the current work‐life balance is ideal, acceptable, or non‐acceptable, while keeping in mind that it may fluctuate over time because of ongoing grant deadlines, projects or clinical/teaching duties.…”

AbstractThe term "early career professional" (ECP) indicates a generation of professionals that demonstrates the potential to succeed established professionals and leaders. The field of thrombosis and hemostasis has a large ECP community. They often face typical challenges in their endeavor to establish an independent academic career. A healthy work-life balance and mentoring are key for ECPs to create the ideal circumstances to advance their careers. However, multitasking training, research and clinical duties is a burden, and burnout is a looming issue. The advent of the smartphone presents an additional challenge by blurring the border between work and non-work time. This Forum describes some of the typical challenges faced by ECPs, highlights existing literature and suggests practical solutions relevant to ECPs in the field of thrombosis and hemostasis, and the possible role of the ISTH Early Career Committee.

Literature is increasingly recognizing that organizations must combine themes of care and concern with more established economic objectives. This conceptual study will expand on this literature by considering how expressions of organizational care toward employees, by improving their well-being, may influence their motivation, work involvement and, in turn, improve performance. In more detail, by extending the conceptual framework developed by Bonner & Sprinkle (2001), it is argued that managers should take into account the impact, not only of monetary and non-monetary incentives, but even of other caring policies, on employee motivation and performance outcomes. On this ground, this study develops a theoretical model on how organizational care may help employees in expressing their work potential and enhancing their performance. The model is developed within the health care context since its particular setting that strongly affects employees' well-being.
