6/ What does all this mean? Overall, the dramatic association of trainee well-being dimensions with their long working hours shines through … our paper discusses this in a (hopefully) balanced way in the Discussion, so give it a read.

5/ 2023 vs 2012 for trainees: Overall burnout improved from 60% to 50% -- progress, but still substantial room for improvement

4/ Trainees vs US working population (age-matched): 1️⃣ 20 more weekly work hours for trainees, no surprise 2️⃣ Higher burnout levels for trainees, but actually better when adjusted for work hours 3️⃣ Similar findings for WLI and depression

3/ Trainees vs practicing physicians: 1️⃣ Higher DP but lower EE scores for trainees in 2023 2️⃣ EE scores in particular were much better in 2023 than 2012 for trainees! 3️⃣ Similar depression levels, worse work-life interference among trainees
