    Abstract:
    Burnout is a significant problem in the medical community, including among pediatric hematology/oncology (PHO) faculty. However, the prevalence of burnout, its associated risk factors, and outcomes within PHO fellows are unknown. We present the results of a cross-sectional study of PHO fellows from 21 training programs. A total of 45/115 fellows (39.1%) met criteria for high level of burnout. Fellows who met criteria for high burnout also demonstrated poor outcomes including decreased empowerment, increased doctor-centered care, decreased self-assessed humanism, and decreased satisfaction with training. Further longitudinal investigation is needed to better understand burnout and the causative factors affecting PHO fellows.
