Trainee Responses to Hurricane Harvey: Correlating Volunteerism With Burnout.

Natural disasters take a heavy toll not only on their victims, but also on physicians who suffer vicarious trauma and burnout. New trainees in Houston, from entering PGY1 residents to entering fellows, underwent even more upheaval and stress during Hurricane Harvey. Many responded to calls for volunteer help.

How accurate are self-reported resident duty hours?

Purpose: The Methodist Hospital monitors resident duty hours using self-report for external rotations and an electronic time clock system for internal rotations where residents use their identification badges to "swipe in and out." This study was conducted to compare the accuracy of self-reports against the electronic system.

Methods: This was a prospective observational study.
