Resident Satisfaction Survey

Highlights from Medscape's report "Residents Salary & Debt Report 2015: Are Residents Happy?" NPR refers to residents as the "tweeners" of healthcare.

I'd love to see this broken down by specialty. Last year I would have wanted to pull my hair out after reading this. Now DH is pretty happy. Granted he is just two months in, but he came home yesterday and said, " today was hard. And there was a lot to learn. But I still love my job"

53% work 60 hours or less?

In my dreams.

Buhahaha. I find that statistic unlikely.

Maybe it makes sense bc residents working those hours were the only ones who had time to fill out this survey?

They lie. They sit on a throne of lies.

Wow what sensitivity that survey allows (she says sarcastically)..."do you spend more than 60 hours a week in the hospital?"

We have no debt. DH got a scholarship for med school, and I worked, and we don't have any kids. The main ways people get out with no debt are by going into the military, doing MD/PhD (which is subsidized, and takes 7-9 years instead of 4), or having their parents pay for everything (dh knew someone like this).

That's impressive!

We were really lucky. We are also older (dh started med school at age 36), so both had established careers before medicine, and mine is portable, which also helped. The school DH went to is actually tuition-free now (wasn't when we started), because it requires an extra year of research, so it's competing with MD/PhD programs for the best students that are interested in going into research, which often doesn't pay as well as clinical work. So even if he hadn't gotten the scholarship, we wouldn't have a ton of debt. (CCLCM went tuition-free our second year there, and his classmates got half their first year tuition reimbursed - most of them just have loans for whatever cost of living expenses they had)

That's really fantastic. What do you do?
