To physician leaders and administrators reading this, consider devising a strategy to allow your physicians to take sabbaticals and return to their jobs. Perhaps even offer a rotating part-time slot. I also urge you to find creative solutions that are not ageist or strictly hierarchical. Be fair and include your junior faculty. I can guarantee you will have a revitalized staff who will appreciate your concern for their well-being.
