In this new season of “Anesthesiology News presents The Etherist,” we’re going to examine a topic that’s both spoken about not enough and too much — physician well-being. In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, anesthesiologists are being asked to do more than ever with less. Staffing shortages, supply chain issues, administrative burdens, regulatory compliance and unpredictable work hours continue to plague the field and contribute to burnout. This is a universal problem, and these are symptoms of a work environment that’s not conducive to sustainability.

Join us on this journey as we speak with several leaders in the well-being field. And since we know that many of you are frankly burned-out from talking about burnout, please skip your mindfulness seminar and tune in, and maybe even find your happy place in the process.

This new season of The Etherist will be available on Thursday, October 20. The first episode will feature a true rock star: Amy Vinson, MD, who among many other things is the chair of the American Society of Anesthesiologists Committee on Physician Well-Being.
