The following study, published in Academic Medicine sought to compare the prevalence of burnout and other forms of distress across career stages and the experiences of trainees and early career physicians versus those of similarly aged college graduates pursuing other careers. The authors surveyed medical students, residents/fellows, and early career physicians and a probability-based sample of the general U.S. population to assess burnout, symptoms of depression and suicidal ideation, quality of life, and fatigue. Compared with the general population, medical students, residents/fellows, and early career physicians were more likely to be burned out. Training appears to be the peak time for distress among physicians
