Abstract
Dear Editor,
Medical residency is a critical phase in the career development of physicians. Nonetheless, it is also a period marked by significant transitions and changes, often leading to increased stress and a higher risk of Burnout Syndrome. Burnout Syndrome is characterized as a state of workinduced exhaustion that comprises three main elements: 1) Emotional Exhaustion (EE), 2) Depersonalization (DP), and 3) Reduced Personal Accomplishment (PA), affecting the sense of fulfillment and performance.
