Editor's Picks “The qualities that make people good physicians are a double-edged sword … It’s those who are most dedicated to their work who are at greatest risk to be most consumed by it.”
- Tait Shanafelt, MD, discusses the drivers of physician burnout at the 2016 AMA Annual Meeting.
 In the past few years, several for-profit medical schools have opened in hopes of increasing the number of physicians in underserved and rural areas without relying on taxpayer dollars. However, critics question whether for-profit medical schools and private companies can properly train the next generation of physicians. A new website and discussion platform aims to help residents navigate training and successfully transition to practice. NEJM Resident 360 offers residents clinical content and career guidance to help them efficiently manage their training years. New resident orientation is an exciting time for program directors and coordinators. It is nice to see all of the hard work you did during recruitment pay off when the incoming residents walk through the door. It is also a crucial time to communicate the essential information residents need to know in order to care for patients on their first day. A well-organized, comprehensive orientation lays the foundation for your residents’ success.
