Sex differences in the well-being of interventional cardiologists

J Invasive Cardiol. 2024 Feb;36(2). doi: 10.25270/jic/23.00151.ABSTRACTSeveral studies suggest differences in burnout and coping mechanisms between female and male physicians. We conducted an international, online survey exploring sex-based differences in the well-being of interventional cardiologists. Of 1251 participants, 121 (9.7%) were women. Compared with men, women were more likely to be single and under 50 years old, and they asked more often for development opportunities and better communication with administration. Overall burnout was similar between women and men, but women interventional cardiology attendings were more likely to think that they were achieving less than they should. Improved communication with administration and access to career development opportunities may help prevent or mitigate burnout in women interventional cardiologists.PMID:38335507 | DOI:10.25270/jic/23.00151
