Identification of Contributing Factors to Radiology Faculty Burnout

Radiology has one of highest rates of burnout both here at University of Utah and across the United States. There are several reasons for this that have been published in the literature: increasing work load without increasing staffing or compensation, little control over case volume and complexity, little patient interaction, to name a few. Though some of these factors are inherent to being a radiologist, some can be improved to maintain a healthy and happy work force. Our initial approach is to find out how our group of radiologists are doing and what they think is important to maintain their personal wellness as it relates to work.
