In Professional Societies Role in Addressing Member Burnout and Promoting Well-Being, Seppo T. Rinne, MD, PhD, of The Pulmonary Center, Boston University School of Medicine, and co-authors from a task force created by the Critical Care Societies Collaborative (CCSC) describe a rigorous process they used to document 17 major professional societies efforts to address burnout among health care professionals working in critical care, such as ICU physicians, physician assistants and nurses.
