“…It has been reported that residency training programs with higher numbers of female residents had higher proportions of women in the faculty and leadership positions, suggesting better access to same-sex mentors for female trainees [22]. Prior studies have suggested that mentors were deemed influential in determining the subspecialty, enhancing performance, encouraging workforce engagement, and contributing to learning promotion [23,24,25]. Brook et al found that female medical students may lack access to mentoring opportunities because mentoring experiences are less prevalent in medical schools [23].…”

“…This study confirms the importance of mentorship and role models, which is in line with prior studies, in which the mentor was deemed influential in determining the subspecialty, enhancing performance, encouraging workforce engagement, and contributing to learning promotion. 2 , 3 , 19 Additionally, in this study, positive financial incentives such as expected income rate and increased job opportunities in the private sector were considered determining factors for those selecting sports medicine as compared with those who did not. This may potentially correlate with the increase in the general awareness among patients about the specialized field of sports medicine.…”

Background: Sports medicine is one of the most popular orthopaedic specialties, with more fellowship applicants than in any other subspecialty of orthopaedics. Purpose: To investigate the factors influencing orthopaedic trainees to complete their fellowships and subsequently subspecialize in sports medicine in Saudi Arabia, as well as to compare the motivational factors of trainees planning to pursue sports medicine versus other orthopaedic specialties. Study Design: Cross-sectional study. Methods: An online anonymous questionnaire was distributed to 400 orthopaedic surgical trainees from 44 training centers (residency and fellowship training programs) across Saudi Arabia. The questionnaire identified trainees planning to select sports medicine as their career and the most influential factors affecting their choice; items exploring the influential factors were answered on a 5-point Likert-type scale. A comparison of responses was performed with candidates aiming to pursue other orthopaedic specialties. The chi-square or Fisher exact test was used to compare demographic parameters and the percentage of “agree” and “strongly agree” responses between trainees opting for sports medicine fellowships and those choosing other fellowships. Results: Of the 400 potential participants, 250 orthopaedic trainees (response rate, 63%) completed the survey (201 [80%] male and 49 [20%] female). Sports medicine was the most coveted specialty among trainees, with 70 (28%) participants opting for it as their career choice. The most prominent factors for the decision included disease prognosis and surgical outcomes (90%), personal interest (87%), experience during residency training (83%), type of surgical skills (81%), disease pathology and patient population (77%), expected workload and lifestyle (73%), role model or mentor (70%), and patient volume and variety of cases (67%). Significant differences compared with trainees who preferred other orthopaedic specialties included role model/mentor impact (70% vs 54%), expected rate of income (60% vs 47%), and private sector job opportunities (64% vs 45%) ( P = .025, .034, and .020, respectively). Conclusion: Study findings indicated that a significant percentage of orthopaedic trainees in Saudi Arabia choose to specialize in sports medicine. Role model/mentorship, private sector job opportunities, and expected rate of income were the most influential when compared with the motivations of trainees not choosing sports medicine.

“…[43][44][45][46][47] Residents value mentors who model work-life balance, remain in touch with contemporary residency training issues, and provide timely counseling. 48 Residents who reported recovery from burnout noted positive interactions and role modeling in clinical settings as being especially beneficial, including witnessing faculty enjoying and excelling in their jobs, as well as receiving validation that they themselves were doing well, and that their experiences were difficult. 28 Encouraging a supportive team atmosphere and providing faculty with education on effective teaching and mentorship may help reduce the prevalence of resident burnout.…”

ObjectivesThe aims of the study were to determine the prevalence of burnout in physical medicine and rehabilitation residents in the United States and to identify the personal- and program-specific characteristics most strongly associated with residents reporting burnout.DesignThis was a cross-sectional survey of US physical medicine and rehabilitation residents. Emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and burnout were assessed using two validated items from the Maslach Burnout Inventory. Associations of burnout with demographics and personal factors, residency program characteristics, perceived program support, and work/life balance were evaluated.ResultsThe survey was completed by 296 residents (22.8%), with 35.8% of residents meeting the criteria for burnout. Residents’ perception of not having adequate time for personal/family life was the factor most strongly associated with burnout (χ2 = 93.769, P < 0.001). Residents who reported inappropriate clerical burden and working more than 50 hrs/wk on inpatient rotations were most likely to report that they did not have adequate time for personal/family life. Faculty support (χ2 = 41.599, P < 0.001) and performing activities that led residents to choose physical medicine and rehabilitation as a specialty (χ2 = 93.082, P < 0.001) were protective against burnout.ConclusionsResidents reporting having inadequate time for their personal/family life was most strongly associated with physical medicine and rehabilitation resident burnout, although many personal and program characteristics were associated with burnout.
