Editor's Picks Recent studies confirm that non-medical reading can combat burnout by increasing empathy and decreasing depersonalization in physicians. In an attempt to determine the impact of reading on burnout, Daniel Marchalik, MD, AMA member, medical director of physician wellbeing at MedStar Health, worked with his colleagues to send a survey to approximately 2,500 doctors.

After the new resident class has been determined by the Match process, the program director must plan for new resident orientation. New residents will have an orientation at the institutional level and the program level. The program director, with the assistance of the program coordinator, is responsible for the orientation at the program level. Occurring in late June, the orientation is a great opportunity to have the complete and enthusiastic attention of the new residents.
