The summer season is the perfect time for physicians to take a well-deserved vacation. They can unwind with loved ones or go on a solo trip to relax and reset from a taxing profession. But despite the many benefits of vacationing, many physicians aren’t going, or if they do, they aren’t able to fully detach from work — which leads to burnout.
