Abstract

Although a dermatology residency is associated with a favorable lifestyle, nearly one in three budding dermatologists meet the criteria for burnout.

Contributing factors during residency include a high-volume clinical experience and frequent use of electronic health records. Women may face particular pressures in managing work-life balance when starting a family during dermatology residency.

We have focusedW focus on the causes of burnout among dermatology residents and suggest solutions to promote wellness.
