Emergency Medicine is a rewarding discipline but 'burnout' can be a problem that Emergency Physicians (EPs) wishing to sustain a long career should take steps to avoid. Particular issues affect those working in regional and remote areas where professional isolation and lack of support may potentially predispose to burnout. Issues specifically affecting senior EPs, especially cognitive and physical decline have largely been neglected. Allowances should be made for experienced EPs approaching retirement from clinical work but who may also still have much to offer.
急诊医学是一门有回报的学科，但“职业倦怠”可能是一个问题，希望长期从事这一职业的急诊医师（EP）应该采取措施加以避免。特定的问题影响到那些在区域和偏远地区工作的人，那里的专业孤立和缺乏支持可能潜在地导致倦怠。特别是影响到资深 EP 的问题，尤其是认知和身体机能的下降，在很大程度上被忽视了。应该允许即将从临床工作中退休的经验丰富的 EP 退休，但他们可能仍然有很多可以提供的。
