“…While our data demonstrated an increase in the level of indebtedness and that personal debt was the most common reason for moonlighting, the total percentage of moonlighting residents in our study was lower than previous studies, which reported rates of about 50%. 2,8 This difference may be due to changing attitudes toward the acceptability of moonlighting before the completion of training, newer moonlighting regulations in residency programs that limit or restrict resident moonlighting, or the inability to obtain a permanent medical license by junior residents in some states. In any case, our data demonstrated that most residents (58.0%) believed that moonlighting would be necessary to meet their financial needs.…”

Objectives: Most resident physicians accrue significant financial debt throughout their medical and graduate medical education. The objective of this study was to analyze emergency medicine resident debt status, financial planning actions, and educational experiences for financial planning and debt management. Methods: A 22-item questionnaire was sent to all 123 Accreditation Council on Graduate Medical Education-accredited emergency medicine residency programs in July 2001. Two follow-up mailings were made to increase the response rate. The survey addressed four areas of resident debt and financial planning: 1) accrued debt, 2) moonlighting activity, 3) financial planning/debt management education, and 4) financial planning actions. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze the data. Results: Survey responses were obtained from 67.4% (1,707/2,532) of emergency medicine residents in 89 of 123 (72.4%) residency programs. Nearly one half (768/1,707) of respondents have accrued more than $100,000 of debt. Fifty-eight percent (990/1,707) of all residents reported that moonlighting would be necessary to meet their financial needs, and more than 33% (640/ 1,707) presently moonlight to supplement their income. Nearly one half (832/1,707) of residents actively invested money, of which online trading was the most common method (23.3%). Most residents reported that they received no debt management education during residency (82.1%) or medical school (63.7%). Furthermore, 79.1% (1,351/1,707) of residents reported that they received no financial planning lectures during residency, although 84.2% (1,438/1,707) reported that debt management and financial planning education should be available during residency. Conclusions: Most emergency medicine residency programs do not provide their residents with financial planning education. Most residents have accrued significant debt and believe that more financial planning and debt management education is needed during residency.

“…Indebtedness is highly associated with the pursuit of moonlighting opportunities (6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11). However, in addition to its economic benefits (12,13), some authors have emphasized the educational value of the practical experience gained through these additional responsibilities (14)(15)(16).…”

“…This is not uncommon in resident surveys because residents have demanding schedules and are difficult to reach as they often work in several different sites with irregular hours. [19][20][21][22] We attempted to maximize the response by contacting nonresponders multiple times. Another limitation is that our survey was regional.…”
