Abstract: Burnout has been well documented among students, residents, new dentists, dentists, and among dental specialists. As members of the dental team, we have specific challenges in our professional environment that have been implicated in contributing to burnout. Multiple inventories exist to screen for and identify the early signs and symptoms of burnout. When identified, there is a community of resources to help professionals recover from burnout. The goal of this course is to learn more about burnout among dental professionals in hopes of preventing or reducing the burden on our profession. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
