Description

The ultimate survival guide for medical students, interns, residents, and fellows, Staying Human during Residency Training provides time-tested advice and the latest information on every aspect of a resident’s life – from choosing a residency program to coping with stress, enhancing self-care, and protecting personal and professional relationships.

 

The book features hundreds of tips on how to cope with sleep deprivation, time pressures, and ethical and legal issues. Updated to reflect the latest research and resources, the seventh edition provides new emphasis on virtual practice, gender, diversity, and accountability in the context of medical education.. It offers practical strategies learned from new technologies and new insight on the COVID-19 pandemic regarding public health, virtual appointment protocols, and AI developments. Presenting practical antidotes regarding cynicism, careerism, and burnout, the book also offers guidance on fostering more empathic connections with patients and deepening relationships with colleagues, friends, and family.

 

Acknowledged by thousands of doctors across North America as an invaluable resource, Staying Human during Residency Training has helped to shape notions of trainee well-being for medical educators worldwide. Offering wise, compassionate, and professional counsel, this new edition again shows why it is required reading for medical students and new physicians pursuing postgraduate training.
