(As referenced in CMAJ and AMA publications) UCSF’s hospitalist leadership reinstituted a modern physicians’ lounge specifically to combat burnout and isolation . By carving out space for physicians to decompress and talk freely, they addressed a gap in the work environment. This example can inspire organizations to consider even small lounge improvements or dedicated “quiet rooms” as part of their resilience strategy, including touches that acknowledge staff (like bulletin boards for personal milestones or a wall of gratitude).
