This couldn’t be more true!! Thank you so much for highlighting important factors for burnout.
As a senior resident myself, I can attest to how much debt has weighed on me and led to burn out from having to take extra shifts on top of an already 100h work week just to avoid bankruptcy from educational debt. Though for me I think it was more of a resource access issue, I do think more financial literacy education would be helpful for all trainees (medical students & residents… and even attendings alike).
Encouraging vulnerability and coaching in medical culture would be a huge win for everyone! It’s sad that this isn’t already the status quo, especially considering we already practice vulnerability every day with our patients. I wish we were better at practicing it with each other.
