Burnout Evaluation of Radiation Residents Nationwide (BERRN): Results of a Survey of United States Residents

A survey of US radiation oncology residents incorporating the Maslach Burnout Index-Human Services Survey (MBI—HSS) assessed symptoms of burnout and resident/program-specific factors associated with burnout. Completed surveys were available for 205 residents and revealed a 33.1% rate of burnout. This burnout rate is consistent with previous surveys conducted among oncology practicing physicians and residents. Further studies and interventions targeting burnout among radiation oncology residents may reduce downstream consequences.
