Abstract
Burnout is a term that has its apogee in the previous century, since then the term is used in the clinical area and the term has experimented a continuous process of transformation, from being initially considered a fad until the World Health Organization incorporated it into the International Classification of Diseases as a syndrome resulting from chronic stress in the workplace. In the specific case of physicians, the prevalence is higher than in other groups, related to multiple factors of clinical practice and work environment. Because of this, it is essential that physicians identify that they are at risk and remain alert to the manifestations of this syndrome before it progresses; and in addition, they should be aware of the risk that this syndrome represents for the health system, their relatives, their patients and to them, recognizing prevention as the fundamental strategy rather than treatment.
