Burnout among medical residents and fellows (postgraduate trainees) has been receiving significant attention in the scientific literature with far less focus on the factors that correlate with job satisfaction and well-being. A better understanding of the characteristics that increase job satisfaction (rather than just those that lead to burnout) may allow programs to develop and enhance those positive features, conceivably leading to improved mental health, retention, and recruitment. We hypothesize that job satisfaction among postgraduate trainees is positively impacted by feeling that their work is meaningful, that their work schedules are equitable, and that they are appreciated by their faculty.

Conducting stigma research is critical for generating accurate information about HIV epidemiology, risk and protective factors, and intervention strategies for transgender and nonbinary individuals.

Autistic children participate less and have fewer opportunities to develop participation skills than nonautistic peers. The extent to which occupation-based coaching (OBC), a metacognitive strategy training intervention, affects participation in school-age autistic children is unknown. We conducted a single-group pretest-posttest design to evaluate the feasibility and preliminary effect of telehealth OBC for autistic children ( = 13) and primary caregivers ( = 12).
