Survey says: Residents are sad, especially when they're broke

West et al report survey and in-service exam data from 16,394 internal medicine residents nationwide, 2008-2009. Almost 15% reported that their lives "suck" or "profoundly suck" (I'm paraphrasing slightly). About half reported emotional exhaustion or feeling burned-out. Almost 30% were in a disconnected, fugue-like state. The really depressed ones did worse on their in-service exams, and tended to have more debt. International students were happier than Americans. Have you hugged your resident today?
