Healio (6/10, Gramigna) reports, “Intern physicians commonly experienced work-related trauma exposure and PTSD,” researchers concluded after analyzing “data of 1,134 resident physicians in their internship year of training who entered an internship at U.S. residency programs nationwide in 2018.” The interns in the study “answered a baseline survey one to two months prior to the start of their internship, as well as follow-up surveys at four time points during the internship, with 12 months of internship as the exposure.” The findings were published online June 8 in JAMA Network Open.
