[[Burnout]] is a negative [[workplace]] syndrome of [[emotional exhaustion]], [[cynicism]], and perceived professional [[inefficacy]] that risks the patient-provider relationship, [[patient care]], and physician [[well-being]].
Noticeable methodological differences in studies on [[trainee]] and attending burnout contribute to a wide range of neurosurgery burnout estimates and yield significant knowledge gaps. The [[environment]] may have a greater impact on trainee burnout than demographics. [[Wellness]] programs should emphasize solidarity
