Abstract
Radiology trainees devote 5 to 7 years after medical school to gain the knowledge and skills necessary for independent radiology practice. The length and intensity of this training can negatively impact residents’ well-being in a variety of ways, ultimately affecting their sleep, exercise, family interactions, religious activities, and major life events ( 1 Perry M.Y. Osborne W.E. Health and wellness in residents who matriculate into physician training programs. Am J Obstet Gynecol. 2003; 189: 679-683 Abstract Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (17) Google Scholar , 2 Scielzo S.A. Weigle D.C. Kazi S.D. Resident fuel levels: reframing, assessing, and addressing well-being. J Grad Med Educ. 2018; 10: 198-202 Crossref PubMed Scopus (3) Google Scholar ). Declining resident well-being often contributes to burnout, manifesting as emotional exhaustion, feelings of depersonalization, and lack of personal accomplishment ( 3 Harolds J.A. Parikh J.R. Bluth E.I. et al. Burnout of radiologists: frequency, risk factors and remedies: a report of the ACR commission on human resources.

The emotional wellness of radiology trainees: prevalence and predictors of burnout. Acad Radiol. 2013; 20: 647-655 Abstract Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (60) Google Scholar ). Program directors can optimize the learning environment for their trainees and make substantial advances along this vital issue by making resident wellness a high priority.
