Wednesday, June 17, 12;00-13:00 MDT
with Dr. Jalees Razavi
In an era of excessive demands, staffing collapse and retention failure, Dr. Razavi challenges the narrative that burnout is a result of weakness or personal failure. Rather, he treats burnout as a disease of occupational exposure, identifying it as an unmeasured workplace hazard and predictable outcome when demands chronically exceed the ability to restore and recover. The Anatomy of Burnout is a call to measure load and recovery and treat workforce health as infrastructure and not a health campaign.
What you will learn:
- The Physiology: Burnout explained in plain, clinically grounded language.
- The Distinction: How to separate “true burnout” from normal occupational strain.
- The Framework: A three-part plan to recognize, restore and redesign work structures driving today’s retention crisis.

He is a member of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada’s National Advisory Committee on Well-Being and Human Resources, advising on physician health and system resilience.
