The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine will hold a 2-part, hybrid workshop that will examine the impact of burnout on gender equity in science, engineering, and medicine. Specifically, the workshop will:

1. Examine the current state of knowledge on the prevalence, nature, and impact of burnout on gender equity in science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and medicine (STEMM), including in both clinical and research careers;
2. Describe policies and practices that provide greater support for those experiencing burnout as well as proactive measures to prevent burnout;
3. Discuss gaps in the current research, with particular attention to gaps in understanding the experiences of the most marginalized groups of women;
4. Examine the causes of burnout and potential variation in causes of burnout across settings of care (e.g. community based, private, public, corporate health systems, and academic institutions) and diverse populations of workers;
5. Explore the relationship of the degree of burnout to characteristics such as age, sex, gender, and sociocultural demographics
   

The planning committee will commission papers on these topics to be discussed/presented at the workshop.
This 2-part workshop will engage a diverse array of scholars and practitioners with expertise in burnout. Following the events, the National Academies will publish a proceedings that provides an overview of the key points from the presentations and community discussion.
