Burnout of radiologists has been well demonstrated in multiple studies. Radiology practice leaders are increasingly now expected to address burnout of breast radiologists as well as other members of the health care team in their breast centers. Approaches toward wellness depend on practice environment and culture. In this interactive panel discussion, seasoned leaders share pearls on how to advocate for and implement wellness in different environments - the smaller freestanding breast center and a breast center in a large heath care system.

Learning Objectives:

Explain why practice leaders are expected to address burnout of their breast radiologists.
Describe steps practice leaders in smaller breast centers follow to help advocate and implement wellness in their breast centers.
Describe steps practice leaders of larger breast centers in larger health care systems can follow to help advocate and implement wellness in their breast centers.
