ScienceDirect – The American Journal of Medicine : Medical professionalism and the generation gap
The conflict in the medical workplace that triggered this recent dialogue on professionalism is between the Baby Boomer Generation and Generation X. Baby boomers define professionalism predominantly in terms of hours worked and “complete” dedication to the job. Dedicated to life balance, Generation Xers do not aspire to be like baby boomers. They believe baby boomers are hypocritical and susceptible to early burnout. In fact, having been raised by absentee, workaholic baby boomers, their priorities are very different from their parents. Their focus on caring for themselves and their families is a positive attribute of Generation X.
