Burnout is extending into students of an honorable career. We cannot continue to have discourse without any action. EMR may be a part but also “on call” is a neglected component; people need to turn off once they leave the work place for the day. In a today’s world, I see no reason we cannot shift specialties to virtual call or even specialty Hospitalist based work, particularly in hospital employed practices, to continue to maintain a healthy workforce.
