The survey was completed by 188 PGMT including residents and fellows from all specialties and all levels of training.ResultsThe prevalence rates are 68.6% for personal burnout, 63.3% for work-related burnout, and 35.1% for patient-related burnout.ConclusionResults improve our understanding of the phenomenon of burnout, and the role of program leadership in shaping the impact of burnout on training and promoting wellbeing of PGMT.
