Our very own IPhO Coach Jerry recently sat down for an interview with Drug Topics to share his perspective on a topic of ongoing and critical importance to pharmacists—job satisfaction and burnout!

Coach Jerry authored the IPhO 2023 Compendium, Pharmacist Job Satisfaction and Burnout in Traditional and Non-Traditional Practice Settings (1)

A recent study on the prevalence and risk factors of burnout among 412 community pharmacists, published in JAPhA (2) showed that 74.9% of respondents experienced burnout. Of those, 68.9% attributed their burnout to emotional exhaustion, followed by depersonalization (50.4%), and reduced personal accomplishment (30.7%).
