Webinar #169 Dr Ted Hamilton - Physician Burnout: Prevalence, Prevention and Resilience
from ICMDA Recordings · host ICMDA
Recorded on 5 October 2023 for ICMDA Webinars. Dr Santhosh Mathew chairs a webinar with Dr Ted Hamilton. Physician burnout has become an issue of international concern. Beginning over a decade ago, researchers began to identify the cardinal characteristics of burnout as depersonalization, emotional exhaustion, and loss of satisfaction in work. Early studies identified physicians as at particular risk of burnout, with half or more US physicians admitting to one or more symptoms of burnout. The causes of this condition are multifactorial, including work-life imbalance, loss of professional autonomy, and bureaucratic burdens. Essential remedial strategies include personal resilience, institutional commitment to change, and national efforts to address underlying structures and policies. Ted Hamilton is a family physician and physician executive with AdventHealth, a 52-hospital, faith-based, mission-focused healthcare system. He and his wife, Jackie, celebrated their Golden Anniversary in 2019. They have two daughters and two grandchildren, both of whom are pursuing careers in healthcare. Ted’s career spans a half century, and includes rural private practice, teaching and directing a family practice residency, serving as medical director/leader for various entities, including a large academic medical group, inpatient, outpatient, and third-party entities. Ted is a lifelong follower of Jesus Christ, teacher of Scripture, church leader, and community servant. To listen live to future ICMDA webinars, visit https://icmda.net/resources/webinars/
