The concept of provider burnout is not new in healthcare but has received more attention in the past year related to the impact of Sars-CoV-2 "COVID-19" on those providing care.

In recent years, this has been studied as its rising prevalence has been noted by all types of health care providers. The etiology is multi-faceted and can be linked to work conditions such as time pressures, chaotic environments, poor organizational culture, feelings of dissatisfaction, stress, and outside responsibilities related to family and life pressures (AHRQ, 2017).
