Abstract
Neurologists engaged in meaningful and satisfying work are positioned to advance the field through research, education, and patient care. On the other hand, neurologists are at elevated risk for burnout and career dissatisfaction, influenced by personal characteristics but driven primarily by external factors at work unit, organizational, and systemic/societal levels. Recognizing and attending to the full range of factors that influence neurologist well-being is necessary to avoid detrimental consequences on patients, clinicians, organizations, and public health. This discussion will review the current state of well-being in neurology, explore drivers and outcomes, and present strategies for improving career satisfaction.
