Hi,
Wondering whether there are certain top programs known to have a higher than average rate of residents burning out, due to factors such as heavy yet unrewarding workload, bigger program with less camaraderie, less faculty support with traditional hierarchy, less emphasis on education/well-being, poor location, multiple distant training sites:
From reading this forum, these are some of the top programs that may have one of the above factors (disclaimer: all based on third hand knowledge from forum posts), so I am unsure about the overall situation:
Hopkins (formal)
Longwood (big program, hard PGY3)
MGH (formal)
NYU (busy workload)
Columbia (stiffer personalities, administrative hurdles)
Yale (Location?)
UCLA (big program)
Harbor (heavy workload)
University of Washington (busy, less cohesive class)
UCSF (lack of support, administration)
UCSD (busy workload)
Other programs I may have missed...
Greatly appreciate anyone's insight, especially if recent. I apologize if I am simply propagating untrue rumors from previous posts, but this thread may help clarify the real situation, especially if it has changed significant in recent years.
Thanks!
