Background Burnout in physician and scientist faculty threatens professional satisfaction, mental health, and work quality while impacting women more than men. Women experience gender mistreatment more often than men, which may impact burnout. Objective To determine the differences in burnout, discrimination and harassment by gender, and whether these variables were associated with burnout in physician and scientist faculty. Methods An anonymous cross-sectional survey from November 2018 through February 2019 was conducted in physician and scientist faculty at a large urban hospital. Survey instruments included MaslachBurnout Inventory-2, gender-based discrimination and harassment questions, and demographic and professional characteristics. Results Of 4156 faculty, 1497 (36%) provided gender identification and were included in analyses. Women experienced burnout at higher rates than men (30.9% vs. 23.3%, p = 0.002). Women also experienced gender discrimination and gender harassment at 11 (25.0% vs 2.3%, p < 0.001) and 5.7 (13.0% vs 2.3%, p < 0.001) times the rate of men, respectively. In a multivariable analysis, gender-based discrimination and harassment was associated with burnout among women (OR 1.65, p = 0.035) and overall (OR 1.65, p = 0.017), but not among men. In men, those aged 40–60 experienced increased burnout compared to those aged >60 (OR 2.67, p = 0.017). For all participants, burnout was associated with depression symptoms, poor work life integration, a...
