Cohen’s article, published in BMC Medical Education, investigates the level of perceived stress, mental health and understanding and need for well-being resources among resident physicians in training programs in Alberta, Canada. Thirty-four percent of residents who responded to the survey reported their life as being stressful. The research suggests that time pressure was the highest contributing factor of stress, a considerable portion would change specialty or even out of the medical profession, intimidation and harassment was prominent with significant gender differences, a significant number of residents rated their mental health as fair or poor, and residents valued their colleagues, program directors, and external psychiatrist/psychologist as well-being resources. Furthermore, residents wished to have career counselors and financial counselors.
