Objective: To determine prevalence and key drivers of burnout in Occupational and Environmental Medicine physicians in the United States. Methods: A nationwide survey of Occupational Medicine physicians was conducted using the Qualtrics (R) platform. Burnout, measured by the Maslach Burnout Inventory (R), Social Support, and Job Satisfaction were assessed. Results: The response rate was 46%, the overall burnout prevalence 38%, and most respondents were men (69%). The mean age and mean years in practice were 56 years and 20 years respectively. Physicians working in government/military (48%) and private medical center group settings (46%) were significantly more likely to report burnout, with consultants (15%) reporting the lowest rate. Conclusions: Although the overall burnout prevalence is lower in Occupational Medicine physicians compared with most specialties, the rate varies significantly by practice setting (15% to 48%) affirming the impact of organizational factors.
