AB  - Hospital  Medicine's  successful  growth  in  the  United  States  concurrently  poses  challenges  to  its  sustainability.  Its  growth  has  occurred  in  response  to  the  demand  of  managed  care  for  dedicated  inpatient  generalists  to  serve  in  various  roles,  including  boundary  spanners,  communicators,  quality  enhancers,  and  care  givers.  The  combination  of  roles  and  the  often  shifting  work  requirements  demand  flexibility  from  hospitalists  who  are  also  collectively  working  harder  each  year  according  to  the  biannual  productivity  surveys  administered  by  the  Society  of  Hospital  Medicine.  Moreover,  many  of  the  ranks  are  being  filled  by  young  physicians  at  the  beginning  of  their  medical  careers.  The  characteristic  stressors  related  to  the  work  environment  and  demographics  of  the  hospitalist  workforce  create  conditions  under  which  job  burnout  has  emerged  as  a  valid  concern.
