Residency and Fellowship Program Administrator Burnout: Measuring Its Magnitude.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Little is known about the level of burnout among program administrators (PAs) working in graduate medical education.

Objective

We created a national database with baseline burnout data for PAs from residency and fellowship programs, including intention to leave their current positions.

Methods

A cross-sectional study was conducted in July 2017 to assess levels of burnout in a national cohort of PAs, who were largely members of online specialty forums. The Copenhagen Burnout Inventory (CBI) was used to measure burnout. Univariate analysis produced descriptive statistics for CBI. We performed a 2-sample t test to measure differences in average burnout scores for those who had thoughts of resigning from their positions and those who had not.
