The Romanian health care system faced a long line of chaotic reformations that proved to be less patient oriented and more expensive, leading to an increased level of burnout in physicians. The phenomenon of burnout occurs more and more often in the pandemic context, even in ophthalmology services. Among psychological and occupational factors that may cause burnout, there are also organizational factors that may decrease the burnout levels. The aim of this paper was to bring more insight into the prevention of burnout in ophthalmology physicians by applying strategies related to the organizational factors, namely, learning organization and internal marketing, in sustainable manner. We elaborated the conceptual framework on a thorough literature review and concluded that a learning organization has a positive impact on the implementation of internal marketing practices, internal marketing practices decrease the level of burnout, if appropriately applied, as well as, a learning organization has the power to decrease the level of burnout in ophthalmology physicians.
