The Magnitude of Anesthesiology Residents Burnout at Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences

The bottom line

Resident burnout shows up at meaningful levels even in a non-Western training system, reinforcing that it is a property of anesthesiology training itself rather than any one country's healthcare economics. Program leaders should assume exposure is universal and focus on local modifiers. A single-institution study in the Iranian context limits how far its specific figures travel.
