Summary

In light of the coronavirus pandemic, the challenge of physician burnout has taken on a new urgency. Long-hours and difficult, sometimes unsafe work conditions are creating a severe strain for emergency physicians and others on the frontlines of Ontario's response to COVID-19. There are a variety of evidence-informed ways that physicians can protect their wellbeing with modest investments of time and energy that will be applied. The evaluation will be a randomized trial comparing the outcomes from each of the three treatment arms. Researchers may also use a pre-post comparison with control parameters to conduct an exploratory analysis to assess efficacy.
