Abstract :
Purpose of Review: This systematic review explores the occupational health issues encountered by faculty members in medical colleges throughout India, focusing on both physical and psychological challenges. Faculty in these settings face distinct stressors stemming from the rigorous demands of academic and clinical responsibilities.
Key Findings: The review identifies several primary challenges, including work-related musculoskeletal disorders, exposure to infectious diseases, mental health issues, elevated stress levels, burnout, and the weight of administrative burdens. These findings underscore a critical need for the development and implementation of targeted occupational health policies and supportive systems tailored specifically for medical educators.
Implications for Future Research: This review highlights the urgent requirement for further research aimed at devising effective intervention strategies that address the unique occupational health needs of faculty in academic medical institutions. Such research will be instrumental in fostering healthier work environments and enhancing the overall well-being of medical faculty, thereby ultimately improving educational outcomes in medical education.
