“Necessary Compromises”: A Qualitative Exploration of the Influence of Burnout on Resident Education

Burnout is prevalent among resident physicians and has a negative impact on their well‐being and effectiveness at work. How burnout shapes residents’ educational experiences, attitudes, habits, and practices is not well understood. There is also a lack of research regarding self‐identified mitigation strategies for residents. The authors qualitatively explored burnout’s role in the educational experiences of resident physicians.
