Summary: Systematic reviews by the WHO have shown that individuals working an average of >= 55 hours/week have an increased risk of morbidity and mortality related to ischemic heart disease and stroke. A cross-sectional survey of U.S. physicians and the general U.S. working population found that physicians have longer work hours compared to workers in other fields, with a higher percentage of physicians working >= 55 hours/week. Even among physicians working less than full time, the reduction in work hours was smaller than the reported reduction in professional work effort. Individuals with a professional/doctorate degree other than an MD/DO and physicians were more likely to work >= 55 hours/week.

Summary: Burnout is common among hematologists and oncologists, but little is known about the impact of compensation and clinical support staff on burnout. A survey conducted by the American Society of Hematology in 2019 revealed that compensation plans solely based on clinical productivity were significantly associated with high burnout, while plans that included both productivity and salary showed no significant association. Female gender was associated with high burnout among academic physicians, and higher utilization of advanced practice providers was associated with lower burnout among community physicians.
