Burnout among people working in other professions remained the same.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We have a problem of epic proportions,&#8221; said Lisolette Dyrbye, M.D., a world expert on medical student, resident and physician well-being. &#8220;We need to recognize it, talk about it and turn the tide around.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Dyrbye made those comments Jan. 27 to more than 330 people during a UNMC symposium titled &#8220;Elevating the Conversation: Stress and Emotional Well-being,&#8221; a frank conversation about the mental well-being of the nation&#8217;s health care providers and trainees.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The statistics on stress, burnout, depression, and unfortunately, suicide, are stunning,&#8221; said UNMC Chancellor Jeffrey P. Gold, M.D. &#8220;It&#8217;s tragic for every individual involved.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Devastating for the workforce, burnout (defined as emotional exhaustion, depersonalization and lower personal accomplishment) also threatens professionalism, empathy, medical knowledge and patient care, Dr. Dyrbye said. <\/p>\n<p>And, it doesn&#8217;t begin after Match Day.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Matriculating medical students have better mental health profiles than their peers who choose other careers, but then it flips and persists through practice,&#8221; she said, noting its origins are rooted in the learning and work environment where competition is fierce and support systems are inadequate. <\/p>\n<p>Interestingly, workload was not an independent predictor of burnout, she said. And, she said, studies have shown that students in pass\/fail curriculums have lower levels of stress and burnout, and perform just as well as other students.<\/p>\n<p>UNMC&#8217;s dialogue on how to improve emotional well-being within the health care community will continue, said Dele Davies, M.D., vice chancellor for academic affairs. &#8220;Dark periods are inevitable, but when they come, we all need to shine a light to help each other so we change the whole environment. There are plenty of &#8220;light&#8221; resources at UNMC and we plan to expand them even further.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>UNMC symposium offered
