CLICK TO GO BACK TO KIOSK MENU Conclusions & Future Directions Assessing Burnout in Emergency Medicine Residents Put Picture here CLICK TO GO BACK TO KIOSK MENU Emma Nash MD, Patrick Barlow PhD, Danial Runde MD, MME, FACEP University of Iowa, Iowa City, IA 3 symptoms of burnout on a scale from 1-18, with a high score in emotional exhaustion and depersonalization categories indicating higher levers of burnout, while a higher score in personal accomplishment indicates a lower level. Objectives Results Conclusions & Future Directions To assess burnout in emergency medicine residents and compare burnout levels between ED and “off service” rotations, as well as throughout PGY years. Hypothesis: Burnout rates are higher: After more intensive rotations, (Trauma Surgery, ICU, etc) AND Higher in more senior PGY years. The initial month of this data collection had a 80.8% (21/26) response rate. Data points across PGY years and comparing ED to the “off service” rotations are summarized below. Trend toward higher rates of emotional exhaustion and depersonalization in higher PGY years emotional exhaustion doubling by second year Depersonalization Tripled Personal accomplishment remained stable 2. This initial data also shows higher levels of emotional exhaustion and depersonalization on off service rotations We anticipate as we gather more data points during this longitudinal study, statistical differences will become evident.  Background Burnout is a syndrome of depersonalization, emotional exhaustion, and sense of low personal accomplishment at work. Wellness curriculums are becoming more standard as part of resident education Burnout rates in attending physicians range from 35-60%; this number is even higher in residents. Study Design Acknowledgments Prospective observational study Surveys a group of emergency medicine residents at the University of Iowa through a monthly survey. Burnout levels were assessed using the abbreviated Maslach Burnout Index University of Iowa Emergency Medicine Residents Kari Harland Dr. Emilie Fowlkes and Dr. Natasha Wheaton
