Burnout among emergency room doctors high, one in 10 left the specialty, study finds

A study published in the Canadian Medical Association Journal reveals high burnout rates among Canadian emergency room doctors. Nearly half of surveyed emergency medicine physicians reported reducing their clinical hours, and 10 percent have left the specialty. The study, based on a 2025 survey of 410 physicians across most provinces, highlights factors such as a broken healthcare system, unrealistic expectations, and workplace challenges contributing to burnout. Women and younger doctors showed higher burnout rates. Previous reports indicate ongoing struggles with workload and mental health issues among Canadian physicians since the pandemic began.

Bias read (Center): The article presents factual findings from a study without overt ideological slant. It discusses systemic issues within the healthcare system and mentions government-related reports (e.g., the Canadian Medical Association), but does not take a clear partisan position. The framing remains balanced,侧重
