Assessment of burnout and pandemic fatigue among pharmacy leadership in the Veterans Health Administration healthcare system.

Purpose: Factors associated with burnout in Veterans Health Administration (VHA) pharmacy leadership positions were examined during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic.

Methods: A questionnaire was distributed to all pharmacy executives of the VHA healthcare system. It collected demographic and employment characteristics, career satisfaction and work-related variables, indicators of burnout using validated single-item measures adapted from the Maslach Burnout Inventory, and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on psychosocial and work-related variables.

Assessment of pharmacist gender bias: Egalitarianism of the Department of Veterans Affairs.

For the past 2 decades, the earnings gap between genders has narrowed for pharmacists, making it 1 of the smallest for a high-wage profession. Gender bias is reflected in 2 main areas, pay and opportunity. The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is the largest integrated health care system in the country, and the authors performed an analysis to see if there was any evidence of gender bias within its pharmacist workforce.
