Abstract
[This is an excerpt.] Addressing clinician well-being has reached a new level of urgency during the COVID-19 pandemic. Record numbers of clinicians are experiencing moral distress from critical resource shortages, emotional distress from delivering care to profoundly ill patients while being socially isolated, and role stress from the loss of child care or other supports. These stressors have been compounded by the deaths of Breonna Taylor, George Floyd, and others, heightening awareness of long-standing, unaddressed structural racism that impacts both clinicians and patients.Work culture heavily influences clinician well-being, and changes that improve organizational work culture and create seamless workflows have been successfully implemented to reduce burnout and increase well-being. Similar arguments can and must be made for health care organizations to adopt antiracist practices that result in sustained meaningful change, because for too many clinicians, racism is a defining component of work culture.
