Author response: A dedicated scholarly research program in an adult and pediatric neurology residency program

We thank Dr. Meador for the comment on our study examining the effect of the scholarly research program implemented in our neurology residency program.1 We agree that the shifting demands on neurologists relate to the crucial issue of burnout, though academic practice neurologists had lower burnout rates and higher rates of career satisfaction than neurologists in clinical practice.2 However, Dr. Meador previously noted that, in the current climate, younger academic faculty members are uniquely vulnerable to fail in their pursuit of successful research careers based on a variety of factors, including lack of protected time and financial constraints.3 Indeed, the burnout study found that younger neurologists in general experienced more burnout, and academic neurologists experienced more burnout with a higher percentage of time spent in clinical practice and less job autonomy.2
