Resident Trainee Access and Barriers to Routine Health Services in the Military Health System.

Objective: Resident physician wellness has been a highly contentious topic in graduate medical education over the past 2 decades. Physicians, including residents and attending physicians, are more likely than other professionals to work through illness and delay necessary healthcare screening appointments. Potential reasons for underutilization of health care include-unpredictable work hours, limited time, concerns about confidentiality, poor support from training programs, and apprehension about the impact on their peers.
