Themes emerging from the 2020 National Resident Survey

$75.00

Half Day (4 hours)

There is a lack of empirical data on a number of evolving issues faced by today's resident doctors. The last National Survey conducted by Resident Doctors of Canada (RDoC) was in 2018. To keep current with our understanding of resident concerns, RDoC is conducting a new National Survey in November 2020. The bilingual online survey will be sent to resident doctors training at 13 faculties of medicine across Canada and contains 60 questions collecting demographic information on diversity, bullying in the training environment, workload and burnout, resident transfers processes, transition to practice, and physician mobility. Many questions are iterative from the 2018 survey, allowing for longitudinal analysis. The survey has been approved by the University of Toronto Research Ethics Board.

The session will begin with a presentation summarizing some of the most informative data emerging from the survey results. The second segment will include a panel comprising a resident, medical student, and medical educator who will respond to the findings presented. The remainder will be dedicated to small group discussions with the panelists and workshop participants focusing on the survey's themes.

This session is designed for medical trainees, postgraduate program directors, administrators, deans, educators and any others interested in the lives of resident doctors.

Workshop participants will: a) Gain an appreciation of the many issues, perspectives, and challenges of resident doctors in Canada relating to residency training, diversity and wellness, and career development. b) Identify the implications of the data and generate recommendations
