SBI Webinar - Managing Workload, Boundaries, and Burnout in Breast Imaging

This webinar was jointly presented by SBI's Resident and Fellow Section (RFS) and Inclusion Diversity Equity Alliance (IDEA)

This webinar will focus on the practical side of sustaining a career in breast imaging, including the systems-level pressures and individual choices that shape whether a career feels manageable. Topics will include time management, setting boundaries around availability and after-hours work, recognizing burnout in yourself and colleagues, and identifying which workplace factors are within your control versus those that require institutional change. Panelists will share strategies they have used at different career stages and in different practice settings. We will also address how bias and microaggressions can amplify stress for radiologists from underrepresented groups, an area where SBI IDEA has expertise.

This course includes a Q&A with questions submitted during the live session.

Learning Objectives

• Identify strategies to optimize time management and boundary-setting practices to support a sustainable career in breast imaging.
• Assess indicators of burnout in oneself and colleagues and differentiate individual-level interventions from those requiring organizational change.
• Describe the impact of bias and microaggressions on career sustainability and evaluate approaches to foster a more supportive and inclusive breast imaging workplace.
