      The term burnout was coined by psychologist Herbert Freudenberger in 1974 in an article&#xD;
      entitled &quot;Staff Burnout&quot; in which he discussed job dissatisfaction precipitated by&#xD;
      work-related stress. A broadly applicable description defines burnout as a state of mental&#xD;
      and physical exhaustion related to work or care giving activities. A long-standing conceptual&#xD;
      and operational definition characterized burnout as a triad of emotional exhaustion&#xD;
      (emotional over extension and exhaustion), depersonalization (negative, callous, and detached&#xD;
      responses to others), and reduced personal accomplishment (feelings of competence and&#xD;
      achievement in one's work) In the World Health Organization International Classification of&#xD;
      Diseases, 10th revision, burnout is defined as a &quot;state of vital exhaustion.&quot; Although no&#xD;
      specific diagnosis of burnout is mentioned in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental&#xD;
      Disorders, burnout is a clear syndrome with significant consequences.&#xD;
&#xD;
      Burnout in health care professionals has gained significant attention over the last several&#xD;
      years. Given the intense emotional demands of the work environment, clinicians are&#xD;
      particularly susceptible to developing burnout above and beyond usual workplace stress.&#xD;
      Residency training, in particular, can cause a significant degree of burnout, leading to&#xD;
      interference with individuals' ability to establish rapport, sort through diagnostic&#xD;
      dilemmas, and work though complex treatment decision making. Overall, burnout is associated&#xD;
      with a variety of negative consequences including depression, risk of medical errors, and&#xD;
      negative effects on patient safety. The goal of this review is to provide medical educators&#xD;
      and leaders with an overview of the existing factors that contribute to burnout, the impact&#xD;
      of burnout, inter specialty variation, and suggestions for interventions to decrease burnout.&#xD;
