This is great information. Thanks for sharing. I work for an EM staffing company and have shared this with our schedulers so we can start the conversations and hopefully make some positive impacts with awareness and adjustments. Is there any data out there on how many shifts in a row and how many shifts/month have an increased likelihood of leading to physician burnout?
