Skills-Based Programs Used to Reduce Physician Burnout in Graduate Medical Education: A Systematic Review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Physician burnout is pervasive within graduate medical education (GME), yet programs designed to reduce it have not been systematically evaluated. Effective approaches to burnout, aimed at addressing the impact of prolonged stress, may differ from those needed to improve wellness.

Objective

We systematically reviewed the literature of existing educational programs aimed to reduce burnout in GME.

Methods

Following the PRISMA guidelines, we identified peer-reviewed publications on GME burnout reduction programs through October 2019. Titles and abstracts were reviewed for relevance, and full-text studies were acquired for analysis. Article quality was assessed using the Medical Education Research Study Quality Instrument (MERSQI).

Results
