Melvin Kooner is an anthropologist who entered medical school in his thirties and said the doctor is "strong, intellectual, knowledgeable, diligent and independent." (Kooner, 1998, p. 374) Many personal conversations with medical students, residents, and various experts confirmed Kooner's assessment. Doctors work hard, work for a long time, regularly deal with life and death, and pay considerable personal sacrifices in their field.

Burnout syndrome is characterized by emotional exhaustion, disintegration of personality and low personal achievement. This is related to a decline in job performance. In this descriptive study, 171 doctors examined burnout syndrome and its associated risk factors. Burnout evaluation was performed using Maslach burnout scale (MBI). If a participant gets a "high" score in at least two of the three dimensions of MBI, participants are deemed to meet research criteria for burnout syndrome. In this study, the burnout rate (53.9%) of hospital physicians was significantly higher than that of family doctors (41.94%) (p = 0.001). Participants in the internal department were the highest (69.64%) followed by surgeons (56.50%) and emergency physicians (39.39%). On the other hand, the incidence of pediatricians is the lowest (18.75%). To marry working at a hospital is a powerful predictor of burnout syndrome.
