Physician wellness is recognized as a critical component of enhancing the quality of health care. An epidemic of symptoms related to stress and burnout among medical professionals, including radiologists, in the workplace is threatening not only health care providers at a personal level but also the entire health care system. In this review, the authors highlight recognized stressors in the contemporary radiology workplace and offer practical suggestions for mitigating burnout, improving professional engagement, and promoting wellness. Thematic goals to focus on include fostering an integrated and harmonious community at work, diminishing workplace detractors, creating opportunities to cultivate positive attitudes and intellect, and implementing effective leadership practices. ©RSNA, 2018.
