Physician Resiliency ResourcesBurnout, by definition, is a physical or mental collapse caused by overwork or stress. Sadly, physicians are facing burnout at an alarming rate and in direct proportion to the increasing complexities of today's health care environment. Your Academy recognizes this important issue because it affects both patient safety and physician well-being. This page will serve as an ongoing, expanding resource depository for our members. We urge you to take our online poll to tell us where YOU are and you'll also be able to view the results and see where your family medicine colleagues are as well. If you have any resources that you'd like to share on this page, please e-mail them to Ginnie Flynn along with the link to the information. If you have PDF or other content that you'd like to post, we require express written permission of the author. From the AAFP
