The article that started it all

As part of my participation in APPD LEAD, I needed to develop a project. Over the last 5 years I have become more interested in provider well-being and mitigating burnout. Most of the research on burnout currently focuses on the causes and consequences of burnout. Professional fulfillment is a newer take, and focuses on factors that lead people to enjoy their work in the hopes that this diminishes burnout.

In early 2018 Mickey Trockel along with other colleagues at Stanford published an article entitled, "A brief instrument to assess both burnout and professional fulfillment in physicians" in Academic Psychiatry. I was led to this article from the National Academy of Medicine's Clinician Well-Being Knowledge Hub, an online repository of resources pertaining to provider well-being. 


We had not previously measured burnout in our residents, and I was intrigued about the possibility of also measuring professional fulfillment in our residents as well. This poster is the result of creating and carrying out this project.
