Female Physicians Report Higher Rates of Burnout

According to Medscape’s 2022 report on Physician Burnout and Depression, a larger proportion of female physicians have reported feeling burnout compared to their male counterparts. Both genders saw an alarming rise of 5% in reported burnout, as compared to the year before.

The largest contributor to burnout by far was bureaucratic tasks like charting and paperwork. How can we free physicians from such tasks so they can focus on what they do best?
