Outcomes
Primary Outcome Measures
Change in Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) Scores - emotional exhaustion
MBI items are scored using a 7 level frequency ratings from "never" to "daily" - emotional exhaustion (9 items) - Higher scores indicate higher burnout (worse) than lower scores (better)

5. Study Description
Brief Summary
Study the impact of the WHOOP fitness tracker on burnout in attending and resident otolaryngologists
Detailed Description
The study will be a randomized controlled trial of attending and resident otolaryngologists who will be randomized to either wearing a WHOOP fitness tracker or a control group. Participants will take two Maslach burnout inventory (MBI) surveys prior to the start of the intervention to set a baseline burnout score, and then at 3 months and 6 months into the study. Baseline cardiac status will also be established by taking a pre-intervention heart rate and blood pressure.

Intervention Name(s)
WHOOP fitness tracker
Intervention Description
WHOOP is a device that uses a wristband or arm band to track heart rate, heart rate variability (HRV), and sleep to calculate proprietary strain and recovery scores for its users. Heart rate variability is an important metric for correlation with acute stress
