Abstract
[This is an excerpt.] We know from the literature that residents experience high rates of burnout, the consequences of which include the erosion of empathy, worse patient outcomes, and threatened professional endurance. In their qualitative study of resident thriving, Hyman and Doolittle attempt to broaden our gaze as researchers of physician well-being beyond a disease model of burnout toward a health model of thriving. Much of the research on resident well-being has relied on unidimensional measures, such as life or work satisfaction or overall quality-of-life scales. This approach leaves gaps in our understanding of physician thriving. [To read more, click View Resource.]
