The prevalence of burnout in IMOs in Sri Lanka is high, which, in turn, negatively correlates with patient care. IMOs face significant challenges in self-care, while their poor sleep perturbs daytime activities and conceivably interferes with patient care. Therefore, we recommend introduction of preventive measures to mitigate burnout in early-career physicians, particularly IMOs, to improve both self and patient care.
