1/ Welcome to another edition of West’s Well-Being Wednesday! As a reminder, I’ll briefly highlight papers, topics, questions, etc. related to healthcare professional #wellbeing, with a new entry each week. #wellbeingwednesday #burnout #MedTwitter
2/ This week we’ll touch on the association of racial bias and burnout, prompted by @FutureDocs thread last week reflecting on #DrSusanMoore and so many other victims of systematic disparities and racism.
3/ As a biostatistician, I think it’s interesting that in statistics “bias” is defined as a systematic error or deviation from the truth. This is worth reflecting upon as we debate whether racism and other biases are inherent in our systems – by definition, bias is systematic!
4/ Led by @dyrbye, we published on racial bias and burnout last year. Collaborators included @RRHDr @Ivuoma @bcunningMDPHD @van_ryn
Association of Racial Bias With Burnout Among Resident Physicians https://t.co/cm8JrLyzLO via @JAMANetworkOpen part of @JAMANetwork
5/ This report is part of the multisite longitudinal CHANGES study with @van_ryn as PI. I’m hopeful that this amazing all-star team might have additional clarifying comments: @dyrbye @RRHDr @Ivuoma @bcunningMDPHD

I really can\u2019t stop thinking about #DrSusanMoore. I reread a paper today by @ColinWestMDPhD @dyrbye which showed physicians who were more burned out were more likely to show bias towards Black people.
