A study of physicians aged 23–84 (N=89; mean 56) examined how call schedule relates to disruptive workplace behavior using referrals for comprehensive fitness-for-duty assessment. Late career physicians referred due to disruptive behavior reported greater call schedule workloads, including a significant Age × Call Schedule interaction.

Especially for late career physicians, workload is recognized as a potential risk factor and impediment to staying in the workforce4 . In a study examining senior emergency physicians, senior physicians noted increasing difficulties with their workload including difficulty recovering from overnight shifts3 . Our study explores associations between physicians’ call schedules and disruptive workplace behavior across the career span. This study utilizes a sample of physicians between 23 and 84 years of age (N = 89, mean 56) referred for a comprehensive fitness for duty assessment. The findings of this study indicate late career physicians who were referred for a fitness for duty assessment secondary to disruptive behavior had greater call schedule workloads, there is a significant Age X Call Schedule interaction as well. This research has implications for how to retain and optimize the functioning of late career physicians. Additionally, this study has implications for increasing methods of age inclusivity in the workplace.  \nAbstract citation ID: igaf122.4234  \nWORKLOAD ACCOMMODATIONS FOR LATE CAREER  \nPHYSICIANS: ASSOCIATIONS BETWEEN CALL  \nSCHEDULE AND DISRUPTIVE BEHAVIOR  \nMiranda McDaniel1, Taylor Evans1, Michael Williams2, and Betsy Williams1, 1.
