In Episode 9 of From Paper to Clinic, host Hamza Shah, OD, MS, FAAO, is joined by Melissa Barnett, OD, FAAO, FSLS, FBCLA, to discuss burnout among US optometrists.More than half of 1436 optometrists surveyed nationwide reported symptoms of burnout, with higher rates among women, primary care–trained clinicians, and those working in teleoptometry. Shah and Barnett discuss what drives these differences, why having children and specializing may be protective, and the small, intentional changes that can help clinicians recover.The paper inspiring this discussion: "Insights into burnout among optometrists in the United States: findings from a nationwide survey" by Kaleb Abbott, OD, and colleagues, published in the Journal of Optometry: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.optom.2025.100552
