Resident Physician Intentions Regarding Unionization.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Resident physicians provide frontline care to approximately 70% of hospitalized patients. After decades of relative stability with a small minority of resident physicians unionized, unionization movements have succeeded in recent years at multiple major academic medical centers.

Objective

To evaluate resident physicians' unionization intention and the factors informing their unionization consideration at their institution.

Design, setting, and participants

This nationwide survey study was conducted in May 2023 among a cohort of resident physicians, which was established over the course of 3 academic years (2020-2023). Resident physicians were invited to participate in an end-of-study survey on contemporary topics, which included questions on unionization.
