ABSTRACT While dermatology residency is associated with a favorable lifestyle, nearly one in three budding dermatologists meet criteria for burnout. The competitive nature of dermatology residency selection may confer a predisposition to burnout. Contributing factors during residency include high volume clinical experience and frequent use of electronic health records.
