Abstract

Several studies suggest differences in burnout and coping mechanisms between female and male physicians. Weconducted an international, online survey exploring sex-based differences in the well-being of interventional cardiologists. Of1251 participants, 121 (9.7%) were women. Compared with men, women were more likely to be single and under 50 yearsold, and they asked more often for development opportunities and better communication with administration. Overall burnoutwas similar between women and men, but women interventional cardiology attendings were more likely to think that theywere achieving less than they should. Improved communication with administration and access to career developmentopportunities may help prevent or mitigate burnout in women interventional cardiologists.
