Doctors with ‘grit’ less likely to burnout: study
Clinicians with resilience and a passion for medicine are four times less likely to suffer exhaustion and disengagement, reveals Australian research

The researchers say the findings are important at a time when doctors across the health service are at increased risk of burnout.
