A Cross-Sectional Snapshot of Sleep Quality and Quantity Among US Medical Students.
CONCLUSIONS: Impaired sleep quality may contribute to fatigue in medical students even when sleep quantity seems adequate. Students appear to begin medical school with disrupted sleep patterns that may not improve until their final year of study. Education regarding proper sleep habits and the significant role of sleep quality in sustaining healthy sleep is especially important in the early stages of medical education. Minority, first year, and third year students may benefit the most from learning new behaviors that promote sufficient sleep quality during periods of sustained stress.

Comparison of Suicidal Ideation and Depressive Symptoms Between Medical and Pharmacy Students
Conclusion. While there was no significant difference in suicidal ideation between pharmacy and medical students, the prevalence is alarming compared to the general population. More pharmacy students endorsed symptoms of depression and intense affective states that could impair functioning. Future studies may focus on mitigation strategies for suicidal ideation among health professional students.PMID:35470169 | DOI:10.5688/ajpe8881

Addressing fatigue in medical residents with biomathematical fatigue modeling
J Occup Health. 2021 Jan;63(1):e12267. doi: 10.1002/1348-9585.12267.ABSTRACTFatigue in resident physicians has been identified as a factor that contributes to burnout and a decline in overall wellbeing. Fatigue risk exists because of poor sleep habits and demanding work schedules that have only increased due to the COVID-19 pandemic. At this time, it is important not to lose sight of how fatigue can impact residents and how fatigue risk can be mitigated. While fatigue mitigation is currently addressed by duty hour restrictions and education about fatigue, Fatigue Risk Management Systems (FRMSs) offer a more comprehensive s...

Medical Students Are Facing Serious Mental Health Issues
In this study, 52% reported substantial levels of anxiety.
Chair of the Medical Schools Council, Professor Iain Cameron, stated, “Medical schools take the mental well-being of their students seriously. The Student BMJ survey highlights key issues and similar concerns have been raised previously. It is crucial that students who have concerns about their health are able to make this known so that they can be provided with the necessary advice and support.”

Stress In An Oncologist ’s Life: Present But Not Insurmountable
AbstractBurnout is a serious problem facing the majority of oncologists. Many medical students may regard oncology as depressive part of medicine. This false picture may discourage them from choosing oncology as their future specialization. To learn problems experienced by oncologists and to answer the students ’ question: is it dangerous to choose oncology? We conducted an anonymous survey among 69 oncologists. Young doctors (up to 5 years of service) accounted for 31 %, specialists 69 %, with a median length of practice of 14 years. The most frequently reported symptoms included irritability (84 % ) and tension (7...

Informed Consent in a Dangerous Medical Resident Hours Study
In a recent post in this space, I wrote about the iCOMPARE research study that is comparing the effects of increasing medical residents' consecutive duty hours with observing the currently prescribed limits on their shifts. According to the study protocol, the primary hypothesis of the research addresses the safety of patients: that mortality under the increased residents' duty hours will not significantly exceed patient mortality under the current mandated standard for medical residents on duty. I argued that the study design is unethical based on what is known about sleep deprivation. The study's goal -- seeing whether m...
