Ask anyone in physical therapy what some of the important issues impacting the profession are, and I guarantee most of those lists will include clinician burnout. I would go as far to say that even when other issues are listed, they, too, lead to burnout.

That's an important nuance. These "other" issues — things such as payment (reimbursement to some), productivity standards, expectations for more standardized care, student debt, and stagnating wages — are massive, systemic problems that point past the individual and even the profession as a whole, and point toward a nationwide health care and educational system. The expectations place on the healthcare system is often in contrast with best practice and creates barriers to prioritizing quality care above other stakeholders. Through this lens, burnout extends beyond an individual shortcoming.
