Abstract

The stresses of postgraduate medical training may lead to depression, impaired patient care, and a poor professional attitude. The goal of the Rhode Island Hospital House Staff Support System is to reduce stress among residents by providing them with a forum for their views and by offering counseling to those who need it. The authors report that the program has been well received during its first three years, and they offer guidelines for implementing similar support programs at other institutions.
