Burnout is a real and growing problem in healthcare. In 2021, 63% of physicians reported experiencing burnout, up from 38% in 2020. Unfortunately, the problem starts in medical school. Studies show that up to 50% of medical students experience burnout, and that medical students are more likely to experience burnout compared to their nonmedical peers.
