“…Prior debate about the impact of Generation X on the practice of medicine has been largely anecdotal; however, this study adds to a growing body of empirical evidence regarding this generational shift. [12][13][14][15][16] Study participants were very dedicated to their patients and clearly engaged in their academic responsibilities, yet they were equally committed to preserving quality time in their personal lives.…”

“…[12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19] While editorials comment on the potential impact of the current generation of young physicians on the practice of medicine and surgery specifically, empirical research on this issue is scant. [12][13][14][15] In a mixed methods study examining generational differences among internal medicine physicians, the qualitative findings revealed that Generation X physicians were less committed, whereas the quantitative survey data found few differences between the attitudes of Baby Boomers and the Generation X physicians toward patient care and work-life balance. The notable difference was that the younger physicians worked significantly longer hours than their senior colleagues.…”

Background: We sought to study the impact of the change in gender balance and the shift in generational beliefs on the practice of surgery. Methods:We used in-depth, individual, semistructured interviews to explore the ideas, perceptions and experiences of recently recruited academic surgeons regarding the role of gender and the influence of the changing attitudes of this generation on the work environment. All the interviews were audiotaped and transcribed verbatim. The data analysis was both iterative and interpretative.Results: Nine women and 8 men participated in the study. All participants stated that departmental expectations regarding their performance as clinicians and as academics were not influenced by gender. However, further exploration revealed how gender did influence the way they sought to balance their personal and professional lives. Women in particular struggled with attaining this balance. While maternity leave was endorsed by both men and women, the challenging logistics associated with such leave were noted. Our data also revealed a generational shift among men and women in terms of the importance of the balance between their personal and professional lives. Participants saw this priority as radically different from that of their senior colleagues.

Medical educators are faced with the challenge of improving the effectiveness of didactics for the incoming generation of medical students and residents, most of whom are Millennials. The objective of this study was to determine whether generational characteristics should be considered in instructional design. 4 th year medical students and residents in a southern medical school in the United States were asked to rank what they considered important instructional practices in a classroom or clinical setting. Non-parametric statistics were used to analyze the data. Lectures combined with group work and discussions were ranked as the most preferred instructional format, regardless of generational cohort. Males were more likely to prefer learning procedural skills whereas females preferred learning communication skills. Irrespective of generational characteristics, sound instructional practices should be employed for effective learning.
