The art therapy intervention will be executed by the same Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) board-certified art therapist for each group. The art therapist is a masters-level, licensed practitioner who has experience working in the healthcare system and treating providers. The same art therapy practices that are utilized in daily practice at MUSC will be employed in this study, with a focus on reducing burnout symptoms. Pilot testing of the intervention has been performed informally at MUSC with positive feedback reported by healthcare providers.
