Burnout among neurology residents during the COVID-19 pandemic: a national cross-sectional study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Neurology residents are particularly vulnerable to burnout because of the novel logistical and clinical challenges brought about by the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic.
