6/ What does all this mean? Overall, the dramatic association of trainee well-being dimensions with their long working hours shines through … our paper discusses this in a (hopefully) balanced way in the Discussion, so give it a read.

5/ 2023 vs 2012 for trainees:
Overall burnout improved from 60% to 50% -- progress, but still substantial room for improvement

4/ Trainees vs US working population (age-matched):
1️⃣ 20 more weekly work hours for trainees, no surprise
2️⃣ Higher burnout levels for trainees, but actually better when adjusted for work hours
3️⃣ Similar findings for WLI and depression

3/ Trainees vs practicing physicians:
1️⃣ Higher DP but lower EE scores for trainees in 2023
2️⃣ EE scores in particular were much better in 2023 than 2012 for trainees!
3️⃣ Similar depression levels, worse work-life interference among trainees

7/ These issues are thorny and actively debated -- I think this is is the first paper of mine to include the word “conundrum” 😀. On that cliffhanger note, I’ll take my leave for this week and see you again with the next edition of this series /fin

2/ This study looked at what’s happened with trainee well-being between 2012 and 2023, and how this compares to both post-training physicians and the general US workforce over the same period

1/ Welcome to Edition 272 of West’s #WellBeingWednesday! I must first apologize – the trajectory of burnout publications maps quite well to increasing autism incidence, something we will be looking into further. 🤨 Today though, threads from August 2024 #burnout #wellbeing #medsky #meded #mededsky
