Summary

This pilot study tested whether one-on-one coaching from a fellow physician could reduce burnout symptoms in hospital-based doctors. Fifty-one doctors from Geisinger Clinic took part, with some receiving coaching right away and others after a delay. The study measured changes in emotional exhaustion and work-life balance using standard surveys.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Physician-led professional coaching
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a simple, low-cost way to reduce burnout among hospital doctors.
What could go wrong
This is a small pilot study with only 51 participants, so results may not apply to all doctors. The coaching effect may be modest or temporary.
