Aims: (1) Determine physician stressors (2) Define issues related to gender (3) Delineate gaps in personal leadership and resilience competencies (4) Compare evidence based techniques, tools, and resources to create a personal action plan for personal professional development to enhance leadership skills and counter burnoutMethods: Interactive discussion provides a framework of the current literature with individual and group exercises to identify gaps in personal leadership and resilience competencies followed by action plan development. Attendee engagement: Interactive discussion provides a framework of the current literature. A series of individual and group exercises will assist participants to identify their own personal gaps in leadership skills and resilience competencies. Pair-sharing and group sharing discussions will occur.  Particpants will create a personal action plan with suggested evidence based resources to assist in professional skill development around leadership and prevention of burnout.At the conclusion of this presentation, attendees will be able to: 1.Explain the current evidence demonstrating gender discrepancies in leadership and risk for burnout 2.Complete assessment of personal leadership skill and resilience gaps 3.Implement the developed personal action plan for leadership and resilience Background: Stress, emotional distress, or burnout can affect a physician’s ability to provide high-quality care. The Commonwealth Fund International Health Policy Survey of Primary Care Physicians showed that the majority of physicians in the 10 high-income countries surveyed revealed increasing physician burnout since the COVID-19 pandemic. Demographics of young age, female gender, long hours and poor job satisfaction increase risk for burnout. Compounding this, the literature suggests that women may experience a number of gender-related individual challenges that impact their path to leadership, including gender differences in approaches to career and life goals. The underrepresentation of women in leadership positions worldwide in industry and medicine continues even though the proportion of women in the workplace has increasedConclusions: Creating personal action plans for leadership and resilience assist in stress prevention which is more beneficial than treatment since once burnout occurs, there is limited evidence to support modalities for resolution.
