Resilience is the word of the year. However, when applied to healthcare professionals in the context of burnout, is that truly the best descriptor? Healthcare professionals are not resilient? Do healthcare professionals need more resiliency? I beg to differ. Healthcare professionals have plenty of resilience. The excessive weight on resilience and resiliency training is blurring the real problem. Why must healthcare professionals become even more resilient than they already are? How does that benefit them? Who does it really benefit? It's time to say NO to resilience and tackle the real issues that are causing this healthcare worker burnout pandemic.
