Purpose: Examine whether location or research/teaching demands impacts burnout (emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, personal accomplishment).

Method: Cross-sectional survey of American (US) and European (EU) organ transplant surgeons.

Results: 218 US and 112 EU transplant surgeons, predominantly male (n282, 86.5%). EU transplant surgeons were younger, worked fewer hours per week, and were more likely to have designated time for research or teaching than US surgeons. Next, examined research or teaching demands by location (US vs EU) on burnout. No significant interactions or main effects for location. There were also no significant differences on personal accomplishment. There were three significant main effects for research or teaching demands. On emotional exhaustion, surgeons with research demands but not designated research time reported significantly greater emotional exhaustion (M 24.43, SD 11.75) than surgeons with designated research time (M 16.64, SD 11.29), p<.01. On depersonalization, surgeons with research demands without designated time reported higher depersonalization (M 7.52, SD 5.61) than surgeons with designated research time (M 5.31, SD 4.87), p=.01. On emotional exhaustion, surgeons with teaching expectations without designated time reported significantly greater depersonalization (M 23.88, SD 11.95), than surgeons with designated teaching time (M 19.18, SD 11.75), p=.01.

Conclusions: EU and US surgeons reported similar levels of burnout, but US transplant surgeons were older, reported working more hours, and were less likely to have designated time for either teaching or research despite expectations for both. As much of the burnout literature focuses on specialties within individual countries, international comparisons are needed to examine environmental demands and professional culture in relation to the development of burnout.
