%X Burnout is a sign of long-range exhaustion and deteriorated challenge that affects the wellbeing  and health of individuals; it cuts across gender and has no regional boundary. The study  investigated the influence of work-family conflict on burnout among female medical doctors.  Method of both quantitative and qualitative research techniques was employed. A structured  questionnaire was distributed among female doctors in selected hospitals. The in-depth  interview was conducted with one senior female medical doctor in each hospital visited. The  hospitals were those whose management obliged us the permission for the interview among  identified hospitals in Abuja, Nigeria. Data were analysed using univariate bivariate and  multivariate statistical techniques. For the in-depth interview, data were analysed using content  analytic procedure. Individual items on three burnout categories were included in the analysis  on a 7point scale. Regression model was used to analyse work-family conflict and burnout and  it is statistically significant. The result indicated that emotional exhaustion only burnout factor  hat predicts work-family conflict. A One-way Anova model was also used to discover the  significant difference in the number of practice years an emotional exhaustion between groups.  A descriptive mean also indicated that 0-5years of practice duration had the lowest mean and  are more likely to experience emotional exhaustion. The study concluded that female doctors  go through emotional exhaustion which is a major aspect in burnout. Also, female doctors at  the earliest stage of their career experienced burnout unlike those at the latest stages.
