We are exploring the current state of hospitalist burnout and evolving roles in the post-pandemic landscape. We are seeking: • Hospitalists (MD or DO) currently practicing in the US, with firsthand experience of post-pandemic workflows. • Physicians (MD or DO) in the US who treat hospitalists and observe trends in burnout and role changes. Requirements: Willing to be quoted with full name, title, and affiliation; consent to light editing; and disclose conflicts of interest. Questions: 1. Based on your own experience or patient observations, how would you describe the current state of hospitalist burnout post-pandemic? Is it improving, holding steady, or worsening compared with peak pandemic years? 2. What are the most significant drivers of burnout for hospitalists right now — and have those factors shifted since 2020? 3. How have changes in hospitalist roles or workload (for example, hybrid coverage, increased patient acuity, or administrative demands) affected burnout risk? 4. What strategies or interventions — at the personal, team, or system level — have you seen make a measurable difference in reducing burnout? 5. If you could change one structural element of the hospitalist role to improve long-term sustainability and emotional well-being, what would it be?
