Mental Health in the Global Medical Workplace: Evidence & Intervention
About This Webinar
The global mental health crisis among healthcare workers has reached a threshold that demands institutional response. Burnout rates among physicians and nurses in high-income countries now exceed 50%, and the figure is higher still in emergency medicine, oncology, and intensive care — the specialties that bore the heaviest burden during the pandemic years.
This webinar presents the latest findings from the BURNOUT-GLOBAL study, which has followed 28,000 healthcare workers across 42 countries for five years. Professor Volkov will share unpublished data on burnout trajectories, recovery predictors, and the institutional factors that differentiate health systems with high versus low burnout prevalence.
Crucially, this is not a theoretical session. Professor Volkov will present six evidence-based intervention frameworks that have demonstrated statistically significant burnout reduction in controlled studies, with implementation guidance tailored for both individual practitioners and clinical leadership.
The session is designed for clinicians at all stages of career, clinical managers, and medical education leaders. Participants will leave with a personal burnout risk assessment tool, an institutional self-audit checklist, and a curated library of peer-reviewed intervention studies.
