According to Healio (12/10, Michael), even though “physician burnout is associated with increased medical errors, it is not associated with an increased risk for suicidal ideation after adjusting for depression,” investigators concluded in a study that included responses from “1,354 respondents…of whom 67.4% were non-primary care physicians, 69% were attending physicians and 60.9% were aged younger than 45 years.” The findings were published online in JAMA Network Open.
