        Burnout is a psychological syndrome of emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and reduced personal accomplishment. This study evaluted this syndrome in specialist and residents working in Imam Hossein center in Covid wards and other wards. Maslash Burnout Inventory survey including 22 items in three general scales including emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and personal accomplishment was used. Data were analyzed in SPSS with Shapiro-Wilk test, Independent T- Test, and Mann–Whitney U test. In this study, 78 physicians participated. Irrespective of working in Covid ward, emotional exhaustion was 23.1%, depersonalization was 28.2%, and reduced personal accomplishment was 66.7%. Emotional exhaustion and depersonalization in level 1-2 residents were significantly more than higher levels, but, personal accomplishment was the same in all levels. The only parameter that was significantly different between Covid wards and other wards was reduced personal accomplishment (P value=0.041) and this was again significant different in participants who did not have children (P. Value= 0.021). There was not any difference in other variables. It was revealed that age under 40 years, female gender, nulliparity, and being resident were related with more burnout syndrome. In participants who were younger than 40-year-old burnout syndrome was more common in all three scales. Manuscript profile
